Ok i've searched and read alot about primers. My experience all comes from production type work over 17 years ago.

I've read where some call it 2K and some call it epoxy. I thought these were one and the same. Now days they offer so many for different purposes it has me spinning like old enamal fumes .

I want to put down a good base and rust protectant but will be easily readied for paint when that time comes. As it will most likely sit for a spell before i do any paint work. I've shot a few of the b/c systems but today seems like so much has changed.

Primers were scuffed and color coated and cleared . With the new clears coming out in the 80's we would apply a primer -scuff then a sealer and just color coat over it and clear when we thought there may be a material match problem..

My area we have Dupont-Diamont-Sherwin williams-R-M paints available.
