This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Reducer for Epoxy Primer

    Hi,

    I bought a small touch up gun with a 1mm tip to spray PPG's epoxy on a couple spots where I sanded thru (I shot the whole car in PPG Epoxy, then shot urethane high-build & board-sanded). Because of the small gun & tip size, I want to thin the primer a bit. The PPG tech sheet calls for DTV reducer, with a final mix of epoxy/activator/reducer to 4:1:1/2. My local PPG supplier doesn't have DTV and said he's never heard of anyone reducing epoxy (???). So my question to you experts....is DTV my only option, or is there another reducer/thinner I can use which may be more readily available?

    Thanks!

    Jay

    Hi,I work at a PPG paint store and I haven't heard of a DTV reducer but my guess is they mean DT series reducers[DT860 DT870 DT885] and the V stands for various temperture ranges.With PPG epoxy you may reduce it with Lacquer,enamel,or urethane reducers.

    If your shooting DPLF epoxy you can reduce it 10% with DT reducer

    I wouldnt reduce it. I spot prime with high build primer with my mini just fine without reducing. Should work just fine for epoxy as well
