Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
yeah, I've looked and PPG says not to reduce it, it will lower the corrosion protection.
I still have to talk to Scott, but hopefully he will be available tomorrow or Sunday. I will let you know when I find out. I assume you have used the dupont metal conditioner....does it have phosphoric acid in it?

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Oh heck no!
So was it the wrong stuff? That's the reason why we used the 2.0 gun because it was so thick otherwise we would have used the 1.4.. |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
I got it at Palace auto supply.....they either don't have a clue or don't care to help......I'm kicking myself for not biting the bullet and buying the dupont gallon......now since i have started with the DP, think I need to finish with it. found more info saying you can mix 2 parts primer, 1 part activator, and 1/2 part reducer to make it a sealer.....but if it is being applied as primer, no reducer..... also found lots info that we didn't have to do the metal cleaner/conditioner, with the blast, could have just wiped it down with wax and grease remover then shot the dp on it
I will be using dupont on the rest of the body and maybe the frame.....just due to the customer service

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
The last mix you mentioned was roughly how the primer was mixed that my friend and I did on my truck. I mixed it 2:1:1.
Im no expert by any means, but Im thinking it would be reduced for sure. Is it a high build product??

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
no it is a 1.5mil protective, moisture proof primer, then after it you can use filler and high build/sandable.......that requires no reducer according to the PPG site.
what primer is on your truck? Jason, i'm working on it now

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Joe, it was 5 years ago. I know it was a budget primer. I didnt buy it because at the time there were 3 of us doing trucks and we kinda all bought different stuff/ materials and I ended up using 1/2gal of primer that someone else bought as a trade for some stuff I had at the time.
You will eventually get it straight.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
I don't remember the time frame exactly, but if you wait too long between coats, you should sand the whole area before coating again. I have the info sheet at the shop....I can look for you tomorrow if that will help.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Like I said before, I'm not an experienced painter and 7 days seems like a big window. Was that on a can or MSDS or just hearsay? I can't read the fine print on the side of the can any more. I'm in denial that I need reading glasses.
