@stevetags1 Sure, you should be able to get one of those lids and any auto paint supply store. Ask them for a agitation lid. They are not that expensive. Thanks for watching.
Why is it that you have to put your top coat on within 72 hours?? Im looking to be able to cover bare metal, and then sand and do more body work and then primer again and then maybe some slick sand, sand again, then a top coat. Help!!!
@surf403 You do not have to put your top coat, just your next coating. You can use epoxy on your bare metal and spray primer surfacer on top of that. Then you can sand with not time limit. Once sanded you can apply more primer surfacer if needed or top coat. Does this help? Thanks for watching. Check out CollisionBlast(dot)com/Coupons for discounted supplies.
Hi I plan on sand blasting some rust spots on my car. What would you recommend doing after that? Applying epoxy primer? Do they sell epoxy primer in spray cans or would I have to mix it and spray it on with a gun? I bought self-etching primer but now I see that it's not the right thing to use.
@Pendemic Epoxy primer is my preferred method, but it is not the only way. You can use etch primer, it bites to the metal and provides corrosion protection as well. If you are going to spray small areas etching primer in a spray can will work fine. Let me know if you have any other question. Thanks for watching!
@ButlerCollision Thanks. I'm just looking for the best protection against the rust coming back that I can. So the self-etch primer should do the job, right?
And what process should I use exactly?
Sand blast,
Apply self-etch primer (should I be scuffing the metal befroe doing this?),
what are the benifits of epoxy compared to laquer i hear alot of flak about how laquer is a cheap car repair fix.. does this mean it will crack off and cause paint damage?
@dills2403 epoxy is much better for corrosion resistance and adhesion. Lacquer has been around for a long time. It is basically used for filling. However, it has a tendency to shrink after applied, which may result in scratches where your body work was performed. two part primers are much better.
@ButlerCollision is there any increased chance of the paint chipping off after the job is finished? what window would you allow min and max on how long to wait to apply paint to primer ... thanks...
@dills2403 If you are using lacquer primer over metal, then it may not adhere well. You need to use epoxy or self etching primer over metal. However, if you are priming over a painted surface, you should not have a chipping problem.
As far as the window, every brand is going to vary. With the brand that I use, you can top coat after 30 minutes and no longer than 72 hours.
You can apply epoxy over properly clean surfaces. Epoxy has the corrosion resistant properties and it adheres extremely well. It sticks good to the substrate and other coatings stick to it good as well.
@ButlerCollision iam buliding a show car what type of epoxy primer should i use for bare metal i dont know what to pick there is alot of brands you got any advice

Scuff self-etch primer (??),
Apply body filler (scuff this too??),
Apply more primer (scuff??),
Paint,
