Group,
I've been an active reader of Auto Restorer for several years and have
been following their restoration tips from stripping the car clean to
clear coating the paint. To date I have completely stripped the car,
sandblasted the body and frame, cleaned, etched the metal and applied
POR-15 to everything but the exterior. I purchased PPG epoxy primer to
use as a base coating over the exterior metal. The problem I face is
that PPG states that epoxy primer MUST NOT be applied over an etching
primer. It will bubble up and just not stick. POR-15 makes an etching
primer to be applied directly over the POR-15 as base coat primer. My
question is, has anyone applied an epoxy primer directly over POR-15? If
indeed I can't apply epoxy primer directly over the POR-15, I will be
forced to use two different types of primer and paint, one type for the
POR-15 areas and epoxy primer on the exterior surfaces. I hope I'm not
boring the group with this long question.
Thanks
Steve Harvey
