so just when i think i know something, something else comes along and tells me i know nothing. in this case its etch primer.
so all the way through the impala i have been using etch primer. single part, mixed with a bit of general thinner. goes on well, rubs back flat and nothing has peeled off (so far)
for the VK i have got some 2k etch primer, which i didnt really know existed. and i have a few q's:
1. do i use the etch primer on metal, then use regular primer over the top before paint, or is it ok to just paint over it.
2. whats the main difference between it and the single part primer i was using, and have i potentially caused myself massive grief by using single part on a 2k spray (all the green bits are 2k, ignore the matte black bits)
3. it seems to be realllllly thick, would it be ok to just build up 3 or 4 layers of this to use as a high fill? so just keep layering and then block back flat?
there are prolly more q's but i have forgotten.
cheers
