Product Overview:

Description

Eastwood Gray DTM (Direct To Metal) Epoxy Primer 1:1 primes and seals with excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance.

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.

Specifications

MIXING RATIO

After shaking/stirring primer, thoroughly mix one part primer with one part catalyst. No induction time is required with this epoxy system.

SPRAY GUN SETUP
HVLP Gun Fluid Tip 1.4-1.8 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 25-30 psi
Conventional Gravity Fluid Tip 1.4-1.6 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 45-55 psi
Conventional Siphon Fluid Tip: 1.6-1.8 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 45-55 psi
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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Been using this for a while with good results. I used it in many car repairs 4 + years and it is still holding up strong. Protects from rust. Great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great primer I use this on all restored metal parts, it is the toughest and most rust resistant paint I have found. I have even used it on parts where I could not get all the rust out of pits and crevices, and it still holds up (covered with basecoat-clearcoat paint, of course). What more can I say about primer?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality in a can Went down nicely with a cheap HVLP from Amazon. Took some initial stirring to get the primer mixed, and needed to pour the catalyst with the can 'spout up' to prevent it going everywhere. Mixed with 10% reducer and a nice finish even in 90F heat. Would use again for sure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent - user friendly product I bought this to spray on a car I am restoring but I wanted to play with it a bit first before I used it on the car. I bought a quart of it and sprayed it on an 80 degree day. It went on smooth with the right gun and settings. I sprayed two coats and was able to sand it with 320 on the da after a couple hours. It a nice using friendly product that works excellent.

After sandblasting a trailer frame, I used a automotive rustolem primer, can I spray your epoxy primer over it?

Asked by: mikkimi
Two-part epoxy primers should not be used over one-part topside paints, or over paints that are unknown. The solvents used in two-part primers (or even paints) may soften or destroy the underlying paint if it's a one-part paint. Only apply a two-part primer if the existing paint on the substrate is a two-part paint.

Does it work on stainless steel? and would it work as a primer for SEM urethane bed liner product?

Asked by: Randy
As long as your surface is prepped correctly, it should stick. When in doubt always try a small test area. If Epoxy Primer works to your satisfaction and prep steps followed, you should be good.

How long does the epoxy primer need to cure before I can apply body filler

Asked by: GS67
While the epoxy primer usually takes between two and five days to heal properly, the process will take much longer in areas with high humidity levels. The best way to tell if your epoxy primer is cured is to check whether it has a tacky touch, before adding filler.

What type or grit of sand/media (sand blasting) would you recommend to use first on metal before spraying with epoxy primer ? 

Asked by: Randy
From my own experience (YMMV) As long as the bare steel surface is roughed up to approximately 80-120 grit abrated finish then properly cleaned with something like PRE or wax and grease remover,  Eastwood epoxy primer will adhere That said, Eastwood also has a product called after blast that gets into the micro-pits that blasting often leaves.  Again, neutralizing the agent with PRE or acetone is required prior to priming to ensure proper adhesion
