Epoxy Primer is on
I spent the last week cleaning the spots where the soda blasting did not get. The gutter has some left over seam sealer that had to to picked out and wire wheeled. Unfortunately soda blasting does nothing to deep rust. It basically cleans it. I had to DA with 80 grit ,wire wheel and acid wash the rusty areas with Home Depot Prep and Etch by Kleenstrip. This is a phosphoric acid that eats out the rust and converts it to a hard paintable surface.
It was very cold this morning and after 4 hours on the heat we rolled the cab outside for the first coat of epoxy. The cab took on a new look as the white epoxy went on.
I had several questions about the epoxy so I called tech support for Southern Polyurethanes. They were supper helpful making sure that I was doing the epoxy properly. Then rolled it out for the second coat. I guess I will be making a plastic paint booth inside the garage...getting too cold to paint outside.
