(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) i will be using the omni line of paint from PPG and there is a couple of different primer--
the epoxy etch, but it contains chrome ( very toxic) so reject as i have a home made paint booth the regular epoxy but apparently it is not sandable ( wtf it means) then there is the high build 1K no epoxy ?? then the high build 2K epoxy the car is strait and very little pitting on the outside i had to joint the quater panel half way and i did a couple of patch but they are but weld so very little bondo what is the best price versus quality way to do?? I know i have to primer, putty, primer and then paint , which one should I use for which thanks you very much for your help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

QUOTE(newdeal2 @ Jul 12 2004, 03:04 PM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) After speaking to my body shop it is with out question: "Always apply Filler products to bare metal. Never apply over primer." If you miss a spot after priming you must go back to the metal for the best result or down the road you will have problems. I have been using Dupont Chroma Base and Chroma Clear for about 8 years on all of my models. I find it is very easy to work with but my body shop thinks the clear products don't harden off enough. Stay away from PPG. You don't have to stay away from PPG... Its personal preference.. they are reputable and not a terrible product.. I just had a 3rd car sprayed with PPG on saturday... Different shops will always have different favorites.. but I am a total amateur and have personally sprayed PPG - omni before with decent results on a BLACK car no less...! b |
