primer

bigchap · Dec 11, 2007

my paint is a bit scabby with bare patches,do i need to use etch primer or just use paint straight over the ali?i'm going to paint it anyway but probably just a hand brush job.what would be the best paint to brush paint it with?

clivees · Dec 11, 2007

To do it proper like you need
1. Acid etch primer (Paddocks do some for around £8 a tin enough to prime a swb hard top)
2. Primer
3. Topcoat.

Just while you're on the subject of Paint.

What about this as a primer;
Etch Primer Galvanised Steel Aluminium Metal Anti Rust on eBay, also, Paint Varnish, DIY Materials, Home Garden (end time 18-Dec-07 12:03:21 GMT)

Havent bought anything from them in partictular (as was on vehicle when i got it, but previous owner supplied spare paint), but ive got their MV Nato Green on my S3 at the moment (photos in the gallery, and on my user picture) and looks really gd. Not too expensive either, and good to know you can get a supply!

Is that a bit pricey for 250ml?

bigchap · Dec 12, 2007

i think i'll go for a big bucket of b&q's finest grey gloss and a gloss roller!

etch primer is a specialised product, hence the high price

My local (Autorads) cost me aboot £30 for a 5ltr tin of synthetic

The etch primer (with filler) came in spray cans, ah think it were a fiver for a big tin, Halfrauds wanted summit like a tenner for the same

Nooooooooo don't do it.

You will devalue your landy.
Because you have a tax exempt Landy its worth doing properly or not at all.
Someone painted my 2a by hand and it F***ing crap, I'm slowly stripping and repainting to fix it.
It would be better if they had never painted it.
Please do it proply or leave it alone.

bigchap · Dec 13, 2007

only joking!,i am thinking of leaving it as it is but was a little concerned about the areas that are through to bare metal.it actually scrubbed up o.k. as you can see.

clivees · Dec 13, 2007

Looking good!
Only the steel (bulkhead and chassis etc) bits need painting anyway.
