Re: need help with primer
no rustoleum is not what it used to be years ago- it is just another "consumer friendly " oil based primer get some POR 15 or go to napa and ask them.

Re: need help with primer
If you're intending to overcoat it, then I'd recommend a good epoxy primer. I sure wouldn't try to overcoat Rustoleum or POR...

Re: need help with primer
no don't put rustoleum on your fender , use a type of primer that will catylize with a hradner or activator , napa has a good high build two part primer that is awsome !!

Re: need help with primer
Why not rust bullet? Seems easier than POR.

Re: need help with primer
I had a few real bad spot I repaired under the core support and around the windshield and behind the heater core.
Ordered, read the instructions and followed them with Rust Bullet. It covered up just fine with the paint. I am sold on it and will continue to use it. Pretty amazing reviews of this stuff compared to other products. just my .02.

I've had really good results with PPG DPLF primer; it can be applied over bare metal and it's a primer/sealer when mixed properly. Then when you're ready to paint - just scuff, surface and paint! Last edited by Billla; 05-21-2007 at 10:54 PM. |

Re: need help with primer
If your going over bare metal..you will want to use a "self etching" primer...

Re: need help with primer
well, i am probably in for a shocker. i just sanded down an inner fender with a ROS, then used Rustoleum's "rusty metal" primer (the brown stuff), then topcoated it with Rustoleum satin Black. I only did the side exposed to the engine bay, and it looks pretty damned good (it's only going to be like this for 1-2 years), so ...
Meh. I know nothing about paint. Maybe this is good enough, maybe it ain't. I don't have the resources or know-how to know what to use and how. I just know it looks good now, and it should fend off rust till I can paint it professionally.

Re: need help with primer
Hey, in the end - anything that keeps stuff from rusting is goodness.
