CNKS and Rod NH

You said At least use epoxy primer and a good (non-hardened) sadndable surfacer.

So you put the epoxy primer on but I don"t understand the non-hardened sandable surfacer? What do you mean by that? DO you lay the epoxy down and then spray something else and then go back and paint?

Sorry I am lost

THanks,

1) PPG's OMNI MAE acrylic enamel w/o hardener - recoating questionable/not recommended by PPG

2) DuPont's NASON Fast Dry acrylic enamel - recoatable after 48 hours per the tech sheet

3) DuPont's Centari w/Ultra 1K Pac formulation - recoatable after 4 hours per the tech sheet - probably pricey

These three do not require iso-containing additives. There are others, I am sure - especially in PPG's and DuPont's commercial/industrial lines and from other manufacturers, but I am not familiar with them. Color shade reproduction could be questionable in any of the three. Sample test sprayouts recommended with small quantities to determine adequacy.

If you are looking for a non-iso, lacquer type of surfacer that is an alternative to the OMNI MP181 that CNKS mentions, look into DuPont's 131S, Fill 'N Sand.

If I were you, I'd look seriously into the 2150 dealer paint. I've never used it but it gets mentioned a lot in this forum. I understand it's an acrylic modified alkyd enamel - a hybrid. As such, it's debatably on par with any of the above, except possibly the Centari. You'd want to verify the recoatability though - just in case you need to repair any application errors.
