    Hello- I am ready to do some body work to my Buick. I want to ensure the best, reasonable priced, rust protection I can buy... er afford. The car will be subject to rain, and will be driven daily. What primer is recomended? I am buying a spray gun kit this week as well. help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :beer

    if you just doing primer i would do a etch primer that stops the corrosion. but no etch primer you use your car will not be protected.simply because etch primer can not resist uv light. as for the gun kit would get the finex gun for primer because it is a good primer gun with the 1.8 tip. i have this gun and don't regret i ever bought it. but if you plan topcoat i would great the best gun you could afford. i have a sata nr2000 and i love that gun it shoot so flawless compared to all other guns i have used.
    just my two cents....

    There are so many variables to consider that would determine which primer would be best.

    Personally I would use an epoxy primer such as PPG's DP40 since it will stick to anything you are putting it over including bare metal. It will offer more protection than etch prime.

    My 2 cents, Etch primer for bare metal, Primer surfacer on all body work, and at least a primer sealer if you aren't going to paint right away. Of couse the surfacer will have to be blocked first, and the sealer will have to be sanded before painting, if you wait. There are other way, it's just what I would do.
    If you are going to paint right away, you won't have to sand the sealer.

    I agree. I would use any of the 2-part epoxy primer's out there. They will certainly hold up better than an etch primer or regular primer/surfacer. Most of my experience has been using PPG's DP20. I had one car in primer for over 2 years with the DP20 on it and had no issues when I went to paint it.

    The only thing that keeps me from using epoxy, is, the stuff I have used is too hard to sand. It loads up sand paper really bad. I'd rather use a 2K sealer and go. You can dust nib in about 1 hour if needed, but other than that, no sanding. :TU:
