paint can primer

ducky 55 · Sep 1, 2021

I'm starting to repaint my M and put some red oxide primer on the gas tank that was stripped to bare metal. Will this last after I paint it? The primer was Majic brand in a spray can. I'm planning on putting Majic brand on with a spray gun.

I never had much luck with Majic brand.
Fades quickly and color just didn't seem
right. But thats just my opinion on that
brand

If it was someplace other than the gas tank it would probably be alright. The gas they make today is very likely to lift that primer and paint. It really needs epoxy primer and urethane paint to withstand spills.

I don't have any experience with Majic paint. From what others have said it has a pretty bad reputation.

Would I have to remove the primer I put before putting epoxy primer on?

The epoxy primer would need to go on bare metal to be effective. It would be possible to put urethane paint over the rattle can primer but if someday you have a scratch or chip in the paint the gas would lift the primer.

If all you did to prep it is clean it up then cheap paint is the way to go. If you have much time into your prep you need to do yourself a favor and use real paint.

Here is my friend's H. The local FFA painted it for him around 15 years ago. You can see that the paint held up well under the decals.
