Paint codes and primers

[Jay Darst]

Thanks Bob, appreciate your comments on painting the Bird.

Stephen Birtles sent me a mail that indicates using Corlar Acid Etch
as the material to apply over the galvanized metal. Then an epoxy
primer then the paint.

After researching these products on Dupont's website, looks like
this will be the process, including the Imron.

So again, appreciate your input!

Springfield, IL where the truck wash has some extremely high
pressure, enough to remove some paint! (especially if its weakly
clinging to your Bird)

the company rep for a long time) I used the manufacturer's
recommended surface prep and primer/sealer/fillers so that
everything would be compatible. The paint turned out great, but I
did 22 days of prep and stripping and 2-3 days of painting. Makes
the paint jobs in Mexico real attractive! I had about $1600.00 in
material in 1979. But, I would do it again if I had a paint booth!
Good luck.
