I etch-primed the outside this weekend. To my dismay, it doesn't seem to be etching in very well. Seems to come off easily with 80 grit after setting 12 hours. Also, in reading the directions on the 2K primer, it says not to apply it over self-etching, acid based primer...
Hmmm... I can still use it on the interior though . A buddy recomended PPG K-36 over the etch primer. I'll post some pics after I size 'em down. Sue's new Nikon is set on billboard size.

Dry-time of EP is 16 hours with 20 degrees celcius. And 80 is verry rough, roughing EP up, than use 280.

Yes 80 will skin the chrome off a trailer hitch. Some epoxy primers do take a while to cure out.

I'm still going at it. A couple of hours here, and there.
Still hammering out and skimming over dents and creases. As soon as I fix one, I find another one. Whole driver's side, whole interior, top, C-pillars, front and rear aprons, and both decklids are done and ready for surface primer. Passenger's side is almost done except for a couple of new dents I found in the lower part of the door.

The car's ready for surface primer. Since I'd finally had a free weekend, I set out to prime it today, and start blocking it tomorrow...
Well, my gallon of urethane primer is one half liquid, and one half pasty, sticky goop... literally. I guess shaking the can, and flipping it every two weeks didn't do a #%&$@!* thing! It's like putting a pair of wings on another $50 bill. I'll get some more time to work on it again in two weeks and will have some more primer by then. Hopefully it'll be warm enough...

Your project sounds like mine...always little things getting in the way huh?
Jake and I take 2 steps forward with my car then it sits for another month. These " real-job things" seem to get in the way of fun projects don't they? Keep letting us know how it's going. :agree:

Take it to Home Depot and get them to put it in the paint can shaker for a while.

Is it high build primer? If so it will be like that. The first gal. of slick sand I bought was like that off the shelf. I had to take it to Lowes to get them to shake it. That stuff is like spray-on body filler.

Seriously, was what you used on Joel's Bug like that off the shelf? I'd never heard of that before, but then, I don't do bodywork...

I just talked to my man in the know. He's going to take my can into work tomorrow, shake it for an hour, and put a stir lid on it for another. He said as long as it's less than a year old, and hasn't been below freezing, it should be fine.
