I was talking to a guy at work and he suggested using velvet primer. He talked about it like an actual paint. He said to sand/prime and paint sith this stuff. Anybody ever heard/used this stuff before? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | epoxy primer - make it any color you want - satin finish and long term protection

I will read up on it. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 | I read somewhere that the best way to get the effect is spray whatever color base you want then semi-gloss clear. Just a thought. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 | Er, but I guess that's for satin not velvet... Satin black is well cool though. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | I think Martin Senour now makes a flat clear coat to go over any color base you choose. Do a search for their web site.

Does that ring any bells? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 | Suede=hotrodspeak for matt. Base and flat clear does it. Or just shoot epoxy primer. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 9 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 9 | Thanks for the translation Pants, I'll give it a go | | |
