I'm not going for show quality, rather affordability.

I'm just now starting to sandblast it, and I'm told I have to prime it the same day. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | You are smart by asking here, I did and don't regret it. There are a bunch of guys here that "been there, done that." My question to you is...are you going to use 1K or 2K paint?

Also, can you tell me which primer I should use if I go with a 1k or a 2k ? Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | Basically, the 1k paints/primers dry by evaporation of some solvent, the 2k has 2 parts mixed together which "dry" by chemically reacting & getting solid. The 2k is much tougher. Brian | | |
