Epoxy prime is a great product. becase it is a chemical cure instead of evaporation. and this type doesnt shrink like the old laqure stuff.

One thing to think about is in primmers there is no UV additive so it will brake down if not topcoated for a month or so with direct sun light.

If you are going to drive itI would use the cheap laquer type primer.

Expoy or 2K is expensive.

You could always use the Epoxy then put on a light coat of Laquer primmer and when ready sand off the laquer and paint as needed.

A good epoxy is PPG DP products the come in gray, white red and black. you can bondo right over the top of this. You must use this if you have brazzed areas to get adhesion.

A great blocking primer is K36 this can be used to fill over scratches and small dings.

Jon Tucker, many thanks for the info on adhesion to brazes! I have tried many things in the past, and have not found anything that promotes adhesion to a braze repair. Gonna try this new-fangled primer, and soon. steve

DP primers will stick to glass is you clean and lightly scuff it.

same for chrome.
