Primer/Paint

[WhiteS]

In your opinion('s), who makes the best primer. Who makes the best paint.



Two catagories:



1. Rattle cans... for those hunting trucks, rims, quick fix jobs.



2. Paint gun products



I have a hunting vehicle that is ready for paint. Most important at this point is longevity.



In the future me and the kids will be painting trucks (we have a 93 w350 for starters) for their personal use. So, I am interested in both and would be willing to purchase moderately priced equipment for real paint projects.

For spray paint I have good luck with Rustoleum, alot better than that Walmart Krylon... .

DP-40 two part epoxy primer. Did a 25 year old rig and the best part was the primer. Dupont paint.

In my opinion most brands will be comparable between comparable types of paint so find a good paint dealer in your area that will work with you and buy whatever brand they sell. Epoxy primer makes a great base for new paint but it doesn't sand very well so I'd use a urethane primer/surfacer over the epoxy since it's made for easy sanding and it lays down thick. As for paint I like to use urethanes in either single to two stage, for a hunting vehicle a single stage urethane would work good and it's not too expensive. The hardner's used in paint are very toxic and you need a positive pressure supplied air mask to use them. A good place to go for painting information and equipment is Autobodystore.com
