Description
Eastwood Gray DTM (Direct To Metal) Epoxy Primer 1:1 primes and seals with excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance. 50 State Compliant Low VOC Formula.
Prep body panels for painting quickly with Eastwood Epoxy Primer and Catalyst. This direct-to-metal primer can be used as a paint foundation or as a sealer to prevent rust and corrosion. It’s ideal for custom-fabricated panels or parts that have been media blasted, plus you can also use it over fiberglass and body filler. The catalyst reduces drying time and increases overall hardness, getting your vehicle ready for painting sooner while also providing better long-term protection. With an easy 1:1 mix ratio, there’s no guesswork when it comes to preparation.
Trust our 2-component gray epoxy primer for cars when you need a professional solution at a DIY price. Buy a gallon of primer and catalyst to make two sprayable gallons, which covers up to 140 square feet of exterior sheet metal. You can even dry sand the primer after 2-3 days to repair minor imperfections in the body. For best results wipe down the surfaces with Eastwood Pre Painting Prep and a tack rag so they’re free of dirt, oil and contamination prior to spraying the primer. Remember, we have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee on all painting products.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Eastwood Epoxy Primer should be applied in medium wet coats, with a 30-minute flash period between each (at 70 °F). Typically, one to two coats is enough to achieve the desired 1 mil. dry film thickness, though more material may be applied as needed. Additional build requires longer flash periods between coats. Epoxy primer may be topcoated after approximately 30 minutes (wait 45-60 minutes after applying more than two coats), or up to about five days. After five days, primer MUST be scuff sanded prior to topcoat application. May be sanded (wet) the day after application. Wait two to three days before sanding dry.

Questions & Answers
I am doing a complete paint job with the car disassembled. The car is painted with 40 year old lacquer and I will strip it to bare metal. On the inside of the fenders and other panels, is it necessary to get all the old paint off before shooting epoxy?
If I use this primer on my car over bare metal and bondo. Can I leave it outside in the elements without worrying about it rusting underneath? And then when I go to work on it again would I just sand before paint?
Can this be used as a sealer? Does it need to be thinnned?
I'll try again: If I buy this primer and catalyst and only use a 1/2 gallon of the primer and a half quart of the catalyst, leaving a 1/2 gallon in the primer can and a 1/2 quart in the catalyst can, how long can those half full cans sit on the shelf ??
What is the shelf life of this primer and catalyst BEFORE they are mixed??? (If I buy a gallon and don't use it all, how long will the remaining materials last?)
Can you spray this over any self etching primer
Can I put paint over it
Does it need to be reduced in order to be used as sealer?
