Spencer Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If you want to keep the car go buy 1L of epoxy its the correct tool for the job. Using 2 part filler over single stage primer is a mistake IMO, I have seen it eventually peel off plenty of times as the curing bog fucks up the shitty primers adhesion. If you must use rattle cans then bog on the steel (it will be what the bog data sheet says to do) then primer it, it will stick better this way. You can then do it again in 5 years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I had to buy 250ml of durepox hardener recently as the previous lot had gone off. It was $27 just for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Yeah for that spot i'd be going epoxy for sure, on the inside too if it's possible? Coat what you can as moisture will get at that panel again from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Think I'll go for durepox, but do you wait for it to fully cure before applying bog or do it while it's still tacky ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 let it set and then sand to key it to hold the bog. from memory its easier to sand in the 6-12hr window, and after 24hrs its quite hard. but it will sat that in the tds its a 2k product. you will need hardener. I dont thin it when brushing it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Pretty sure the cheapest epoxy primer will be PPG/Protec 408 Epotec, its about $60 in oz for a 1L "kit" that has paint, hardener and thinner. Get some mixing pots while you are at the paint shop so its easy to mix it up in one container then bin after. Also its no more deadly than rattle cans, its urethane that has the isocyanates not epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 you are brushing it on too, wear gloves and dont drink it and theres basically 0 risk of it getting in you anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Just trying to say for the millionth time that just because its 2 part doesn't make it extra deadly its urethane that is deadly in both single part (ie por15) and two part. No one freaks out about 2 part bog, or two part epoxy glues (kneed it etc) they get it everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Most of the issue with spraying stuff is that your eyes absorb really well and your lungs put it right in the core of your body and your armpits and gooch are the softest parts and absorb much more than the rest of your skin wear clothes avoid breathing it in avoid getting it in your eyes pretty good advice for everything 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Setting up for painting at home, how does this plan sound? Compressor in an external shed, with sound deadening to hopefully quieten things down Proper-ish explosion proof extraction fan with filters Hopefully a few cheap fans around to help blow air around rather than extract fumes Two separate air lines, one for the oiled Sanders etc and one for the paint gun which isn't oiled.. I think that's correct, but correct me if I'm wrong.. I'm going to go to town with masking drop sheets in the garage, and will wet the floor for extra protection against dust.

tortron Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 That's pretty hardcone, sounds good You also want a heap of light - led Battons on the walls Oil/water separators on the line. Some copper running up and down the wall with a drain tap would be good. I just have a trap at the compressor and a filter one at the gun and drain the tank every day Planning on doing lots of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 If you can find your self an air dryer second hand i highly recommend your gear will live a far easier life, you wont get buckets of water in your airlines "my 2c" i dont have one on mine yet but i really miss having good clean dry air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I'm doing a few resprays, plus it'll let me do wheels and other bits. I think the plan I've got is expensive-ish but worth it, next best thing is getting a profe$$ional booth installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hire a booth when you need it? For full resprays that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbon Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 My boss swears by jiff as a prep solution, he reckons it cleans the surface, decreases, and scores the surface to help the paint stick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
