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.

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good product w/ good adhesion. Was having adhesion problems with epoxy primers so I did a test. Eastwood DTM epoxy primer came out #2 bested by MP170 by just a bit. So I have no problem using it on my restored classic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from epoxy primer Easy to use and it performs well. Just be ready with your high build primer to take advantage of the window for recoat. Way less work if you can spray polyester or 2k over it right away avoiding having to abrade the epoxy

Questions & Answers

Hello my question is about your epoxy primer.  I would like to put on coat of epoxy primer on bear steel then wait 30 minutes and the put 2 coats of primersurfacer on top then wait 3 days to sand with 400 grit.  Is that doable thanks.   

Asked by: John
The majority of our epoxy primers need 30 to 60 minutes to dry. Make sure it is cured before moving forward. Alternatively, you can apply filler or primer surfacer over the epoxy to fill any minor imperfections and block flat before you paint. You may have to wait a bit longer than 3 days prior to sanding.

Can This be tinted to Gray and What Brand of Tinit can I use?

Asked by: Jeff84637
Our primer is not designed to be tinted. If color alteration is needed then the only way to do so would be with either of the 2 other Epoxy primer options that we offer.

Can I apply landau top glue to this primer (vinyl top install on Mustang)? If so...how long should I wait before applying the glue?

Asked by: Jeepguy25
We would not be able to guarantee compatibility with items like this that we do not sell since we do not test with this. We would have to advise you to test on scrap metal first.

Can this be brushed on rather than sprayed?

Asked by: Emurr
This particular version should be sprayed on with a paint gun. We do offer 2k Aerospray aerosol cans of this: https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-2k-aerospraytm-epoxy-primer-gray-black.html as well as a roll on option that could be brushed on here: https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-optiflow-roll-on-epoxy-primer-gallon-catalyst-kit.html
