I know I should have done this earlier, but I'll be getting my car sandblasted in 8 hours, and I still can't make heads nor tails of the best primer system to use. Should I use a zinc-chromate primer, an epoxy primer, or a wash primer? Any specific product recommendations? The car will still need much bodywork and metal R&R before it is ready for paint. AlsoKeep in mind that I am outside the US and have no access to POR-15... I'd really appreciate your suggestions, thanks!

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
BEST results will be to use an etch/wash primer. Next best would be epoxy. The etch/wash primers adhere MUCH better and will also neutralize any small rust pits that may be left as well as any rust flash that may occur once bare. I have a Jeep hood that has NOTHING but Spies etch primer on it. Been outside for almost a year...in the rust belt south. NO rust except where it was scratched pretty hard and the rust has NOT spread under the primer on the edges of the scratch. There is a damn good reason I use Spies Hecker.
