Spencer Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 You can brush on plenty of epoxys if you want, then smash undercoat on. Seen industrial geezers brushing on epoxy then 2pak top coat, it wont level out well at all but fuck it. Go read a bunch of different epoxy primer data sheets. I use Protec over here because I get a sweet hookup, its all I used on the Buick An example of a datasheet where you can brush on epoxy, its a epoxy with zinc phosphate for corrosion resistance it is 10x more suitable than anything listed above and can be coated my almost anything. Beats POR15, rustkill all that gay shit hands down http://www.ppglic.com.au/uploads/tds/470%20-%20XXXX%20BARRIER%20PRIME%20EX%20-%20470%20ANTICORROSIVE%20EPOXY.pdf Over here I would get 4L of that plus 2L hardener and thinners (makes like 7L of paint) for around $100.

Bling Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Cheers for the link Spencer, looks like pretty good shit. Thing is that I can get the Wattyl gear at a good price, so am more inclined to go for the gay stuff as it will be nice® to my wallet. Both products seem to be similar in job, the Protec just a better spec. Will report back my results in 6 months time heh. I read the MSDS sheets for the various "rustkill" themed products and they look to be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I wouldn't paint anything on a car with that wattyl shit haha. There will be a more suitable paint/epoxy in your budget, you have spent 50 years getting this far don't Jew out on that shit paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a shitload of products for varying corrosive exposure levels. Just after something to brush on to go between the underside of car and the 2 layers of underseal it will get. 50 years lol, escort is very low on my priority list for funds/effort.

Do it in basecoat/clearcoat, can layer up your colours with basecoat then clear the whole job and tadaa no line! Always use a good quality fineline tape for the break between the colours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 flattening base to a 1k top coat or base coat? matting base is sometimes used in base coats to help get even coverage but base is matt/satin by on its own adding matting agent to a 2k top coat will do look and last just the same as a premade matt paint but will be more transparrent and take more coats to cover ie 2 coats of mipa flat black covers the same as 3/4 coats of a heavily matted 2k gloss Keen of doing a Satin type finish on the mazda - do you have to stick with the finish straight off the gun or is there some finishing work you can do on it - sanding buffing etc?? The last car I painted was the starlet in acrathane (spelling) which i hit with some 1200 grade and then the buffer with some cutting compound.. which was ideal to say bye bye to some of the inperfections.. I fear if i don't have the luxury of doing some finishing work the top coat straight off the gun may be none too flash.. in which case i would flag the satin finish and carry out in a similar manner to the starlet..
