CaseIH primer

bmagee · Mar 26, 2014

I know there are many questions and opinions on primers. I have painted Cub Cadets, and a Cub, now about ready to paint a Farmall F-12.

I have a turbine paint system and plan on using base coat, clear coat for the paint.

My question is has anyone used CaseIH's grey primer?. It seems like I read it was good and similar to JD's primer.

I have no expierence with epoxy primers or similiar, so I thought I would play it safe and use the CaseIH.

I will have to use some feather fill on hood, etc.

Any negatives?

Thanks in advance

I've never used the case primer but there is no mystery in epoxy primers. They are just as easy to use and far better. The only handicaps is there is a recoat window of about three days you have to put something on it and epoxy primers doesn't sand well. All you would have to do is put a filler primer or paint over the epoxy in the three days. The filler primer would sand and level like the case primer for sheet metal. The benefit of epoxy is if there is a scratch to the metal rust will be isolated to the scratch where the case primer rust would spread out under the paint.

i'd be nervous putting a base/clear over ironguard which is an enamel primer. if you are shooting a urethane base clear from an automotive paint line, ie dupont, basf ect, use the primers they recommend. epoxy primer base, 2k powerfill surfacer, maybe a sealer if necessary, then base/clear over it. mixing different paint mfrs and product lines is a recipe for disaster.

Mike, sand the epoxy and give it another coat, then topcoat or use the high build primer or surfacer. The instructions for your epoxy will give you the time period it has before it needs to be scuffed or sanded for the next coat. If not on the can ask the dealer or look at the manufacturers website.
