Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:57 pm Post subject: opinion on epoxy primer?

Due to rust popping through the old paint on a project I just picked

up, I'm going to strip the fabric, and start from scratch.  I

just stopped by a local paint store, and they offer a 2-part epoxy

primer: Transtar 2K epoxy. Does anyone have any opionion one way

or the other on using this product?  I will be using the stits poly 

process for covering - I'm already familiar with it, and have quite 

a bit of extra left over from a previous project.



Thanks,



-Jack

Jack, I would want to make sure it is compatible with the Poly Fiber materials before using it.  Thats a lot of work, not to mention the expense, if there may be adhesion problems down the road.

Jack, Opinion only since I have no experience with the brand you are talking about, but I used a 2 part automotive primeer to prime bare spots on my frame. It appears that almost any 2 part epoxy primer is impervious to MEK based paint. I have glued over the 2 part I used successfully.

Is there Zinc chromate in that epoxy?  With 4130 I'd stick to something with

zinc chromate in it.
