| | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 75 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 75 | I've got a question about urethane sandable primers. I've always used laquer primer, but want to try using urethane for my '53 chevy. There is a huge variation in pricing on primers and I'm not sure what brand(s) I should be looking at. Kirker sells Urethane primer for about $35/gal and $25 for hardener. PPG is at least 2x the cost. Do you get what you pay for, or are there some less expensive but good products out there???
some advice would be appreciated

What you look for in primers is film-build, solvent resistance (how "absorbant" the finished product is...less is better), and viscosity. Less viscosity with good film build makes it easier to surface out. The Transtar stuff did not require a sealer before topcoat. More $ saved. I did find out it didn't like reduction...made it "gummy" for dry sanding. | | |
