As a painter i can say he is right about everything he said. The only thing that i would suggest is to do one coat of epoxy and then a second coat of regular (urethane) primer. This eliminates the hassle of sanding epoxy which as we know is very gummy to sand. Most epoxy primers have a darker color wich is good because it serves as a guide so you don't sand off too much material when preping for paint.

You are exactly right. Epoxies are by nature gummy and hard to sand but they have better adhesion properties than urethane primers. There are some "hybrid" epoxies that are easier to sand, but generally speaking, putting a urethane primer over the epoxy is an excellent recommendation.

Great informative video. I spent my afternoon 80 grit sanding my roof to remove crows feet cracking from an accident repair. Came out great and was able to repair some rust starting along the top of the windshield. Ready for a 180 sand and epoxy now!

I switched to the Eagle sandpaper because of you. Best sandpaper I have ever used. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this video. I'm just starting to work on my truck and this came a great time. Planning to do metal repair/replacement and then sand and prime and then do remaining body work. Since it's cold up here in the northeast I don't think I can get my garage/shop to stay above 60 degrees for very long so I don't think I can spray.

That's a nice work, Brian. Really good base for later work.

Great video man. Excited to the rest of this build!

Excellent work!! 👍🏻

If you had 'crows feet' and cracked paint, but the factory primer layer seemed to be in tact still (i.e. you cannot see any visible rusting, just light grey primer where paint is chipping), would you still recommend sanding down to the metal? or would you stop once the paint/ primer seemed nicely bonded? My car has been sitting out in the sun for about 30 years and the paint is looking a bit sad.

If you do body filler on bare metal, rust will creep under the paint then blow thru at weakest line. First seal up with epoxy then scuff n mud it the way you do. You are a real painter man greetings from overseas/ istanbul

Great video thanks🤠👍

Great vid guys, question - what do you use to seal the epoxy primer? can you not just basecoat then clear after epoxy?

At what pressure did you spray your epoxy? Thanks for sharing the tips & info.

I personlay git that dewalt sandwr and i can say it works really well it nocks down bondo rust deep scratches so fast and easy

Would you recommend a rust converter as well after sanding, to chemically change any rust not visible to the eye? I feel this would best protect the metal going forward. Amy recommendations on paintable rust converters from your experience?

Excellent Video. I am buying the epoxy through your link but I have a question. I have an old Chevy on bare metal that I scuffed with 80 Grit. It still needs body work I just want to seal it. Do you still recommend I use reducer ? or straight epoxy with no reducer? Thanks for the awesome video, It is the best I have seen.

good job i have a question i have this 69 cj jeep thats in need of a paint job aside from replacing some metal can i have it sand blasted and get good results on paint

Great video, by the way what do you think of the surface contour sanders for this type of work ? I notice Eastwood carries them and they look impressive in their video.,

Once sanded to bare metal you can also use rust coverter/ metal prep , wipe on and wash it off immediately then you’re ready to the epoxy primer

Very good work keep it up bro

I do wish you showed the process getting to that point on the roof. Which things are important to take off and what things you decided to keep and why. Otherwise however this whole series is excellent. I just came back looking for this video as Im literally going through this process, even down to the two tone.

Nice job, great channel 👍

Great video and I have done this. My problem is the fine airborne dust that covers everything in my garage much like it covered the vehicles around you. After my last project I have fine paint dust in areas that I will never be able to totally get rid of. I’ve decided I need to build a sanding “tent” with homemade filtration system. I will always try do this outside as weather permits. Everyone needs know about the potential dust issue.

Is there an all in one epoxy and high build primer that I could use on bare metal then spray a single stage paint over top of it? I already have single stage paint BUT it need body work and taking down to metal as it is rusting just like this Tahoe you just did. Thanks!

Question: is it okay to use Spray Max 2K High Gloss over Duplicolor paint? Also, can clear coat go on the next day? I have to paint outside and would only have the early morning before it gets hot. Thanks!

Eastwood epoxy is very good - but also expensive. I've recently tried and determined that speedokote t-rex epoxy is as good and in some ways actually better (doesn't take four days to set up for finish sanding or working it). Also it's almost half the cost when factoring in shipping.

Great video!

What about the Eastwood Contour Sander? have you ever tied that? Thanks. I always learn so much from you.

The purple polycarbonate strip disc on an angle grinder work great.

Good informational video. Could you just have Dustless Blasted that roof of the vehicle or is that cost prohibitive?

Could one use a pneumatic DA sander to do the sanding? What if you have a lot of rust to sand along with old paint? We are restoring an old truck that's going to need considerable rust repair done to the body panels and cab. The frame appears to just have surface rusting.

Can you put high build primer over epoxy on the same day ?

Nice Job

Great video

So do you have to replace the paper on the discs before it is stripped completely?

in regards to a 3" and also 6" Pneumatic DA Sanders Can you recommend a few affordable yet decent ones in those sizes please?

Why do you need a sealer over epoxy? I thought the sealer was to get uniform color? Learning a lot from your videos. If you could do a video on protective gear and setting up a compressor system for painting that would be great

This may be a dumb question so when does the DA sander come into play? Or is it just an alternative to the dewalt? If someone could lmk that’d be very appreciated

@notbilly5962

2 жыл бұрын

Rain shouldn't be too much of an issue as epoxy primer isn't porous like a normal primer-surfacer, the main worry would be UV exposure as there isn't any clear It'll start to break down the primer and cause adhesion problems further down the road. If you have to drive it around try to keep it undercovers much as possible and have it painted within a few months. Although best best is ultimately just to do it all in the same day.

What do you do if there was a vinyl roof that rusted through after 50 years? Not much metal on the roof at the top. Sides are good and back. Some damage near the windshield.

Can you clear coat over a stain sealer on metal?

I have really thick heavy rusting, should I go more rough than 80?

I like using a paint stripper wheel or an 80 grit flap Disc too besides a wire wheel... They will cut down even faster, then finish off with the 80 grit and 100 grit flat sander for a Final pass

Can you use epoxy over self etching

That would be a good outside job!

and the best method to prevent the coming of rust is grease , you should put grease everywhere. grease is the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year. Rust almost always comes from the inside and welds. Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france
