Im wanting to do a bit more painting but with 2 pot ive not used it in such a long time I've managed to unlearn most things I did in Tech as a vehicle restorer In the late 1900's.

If your a panel beater spray painter and wouldn't mind me looking over your shoulder for a few hours and asking a few questions that would be ace. I may even sweep your shop or sand a panel or 2 for you in exchange.

Pm if your in Waikato or Auckland

Apologies if it’s already been covered. Any recommendations for weld through primer?

Currently using the Colour Pak Spray Galv weld thru. 
It’s terrible. Fizzes, pops and burns off. 
First time me or the old man have used it before.
Dad is closing in on gold card age and has been a Fitter/Welder since he was 18 (and still is). So whilst it’s probably the biggest panel beating/rust repair job he’s been a part of. I’d like to think it’s not his welding.
Not using weld through isn’t an option unfortunately, because it was the repair certifiers instructions.

Copper weld through primer - cans that retail around the $50 mark tend to be far more useful than cheap alternatives.

Prepping the weld as you normally should and removing paint/crud where you weld - only spray the back/between items you cant get to afterwards.
