My concern is epoxy primer will gum up as it takes a while to fully cure which you don't have. The attached picture is a car I painted this summer with k36 wet sanded to 400 then epoxy as a sealer and right away base and clear.. Turned out nice Good point. I didn't think about that. I'll stick to the original plan of spraying epoxy as sealer over the K36 and just before base coat. No telling how much time I have. Could be weeks, could be zero. Monday, I sprayed primer. Tuesday, I sprayed K36. Both days sunny and 70. Then on Wednesday, I plowed a foot of snow off the driveway. Today, sunny and upper 50s. I just sprayed a little primer. It's just a dance at this stage trying to get the prep work down to be ready to spray when the weather is good. I should be able to get there, but it is stressful. That car looks Great! |
