bubblegoose Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 this one will be for the clued up ones on painting.i got given a tin of international paints "interthane 990",ex army spec green.what i cant find is what type of paint it is.its very old so could be enamel,but i have no idea.any of you knowledgeable gentlemen able to help me out?? how old? 3 years id be wary 4 years id look at other options 5 year+ wouldnt botherthe longer the paint sits on the shelf the softer it will be when 'cured' ie i used some 4 year old 2k about 6 months ago, baked it 3 times and still to this day its a little chewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 one coat of your choice of paint then lots of spray on underseal and cavity wax Yea exactly that, some black industrial (ie cheap) 2K would be my bet, use it for all engine/chassis bits and pieces, just take the time to prep it well. If you trust your blasters I have given my paint system to them before and got them to spray the 2K topcoat on wet over the epoxy as it saves me a stage of sanding. It usually is orange peely as fuck but worries if its only chassis/suspension bits, it sets just as hard as POR 15 etc for a fraction of the cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Anyone recommend an epoxy primer? Want to seal up the good metal while a few door patches are done, then once done will hit with the sander and blast another full seal coat on there before the high-build goes on. Anyone got hook ups/work in the industry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 resene durepox 2k tough, flexible and comes in satin black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 resene durepox 2k tough, flexible and comes in satin black Was looking at durapox 2k primer spec sheet last night as have heard good things However "free sanding 2-pack epoxy urethane primer" sounds more like a high build, Will this actually seal the steel off from the outside world?

bubblegoose Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 yes, water tight. free sanding just means its not an arse to prep for recoating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sold Presume the resene high build on top. What about another cost of durapox after that to seal it all up before the final coats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 once its cured you can overcoat with any primer you want, wouldn't bother adding more coats after working unless you plan on leaving it for a while before starting paint stuff tbh id go for mipa filler/high build primer. cheap enough and nice to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm after a product I can brush on the underside of my car, before I underseal it. Underside will be free of any old underseal and with be a mix of painted and unpainted surface. Spraying is not an option, not at home anyway which is the easiest place for me to get things done. Product recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Pa10? por15? If spraying I would have just said an epoxy primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Got por15 but it isn't really rusty at all, so not sure it's all that suited. PA10 looks like the go, single pack, brush on, and looks to stick to most things. I imagine a few coats of that should be sweet to be top coated with underseal? Being a primer though, what product would I brush on top if underseal can't go straight on it? Wattyl kill rust looks like it might also do the trick. Worst case scenerio would be metal primer, then top coat. Any experiences with that? http://www.wattyl.co.nz/Killrust/Pages/home.aspx Would be easier to source (via mate) than PA10.
