Do I need to let the epoxy "cure" prior to topping with the Urethane? As always, thanks for your input.

Edit: Oops, you were asking about primer. Read the literature....

I just let the Epoxy cure first.Did you run out of Epoxy primer and have to use the other? And I have also sprayed single stage urethne paint over epoxy primer and it came out very well with no problems. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 53 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 53 | Tracern,
I am using Eastwood epoxy and urethane primers. I was hoping to get to my final primer coats last weekend but ran out of time. Epopxy had all week to cure so urethane will go on this weekend. Did you use Eastwood single stage for your paint? Were you happy with the product? Thanks all for your responses!

On the 55 2nd series I used a lemonwood yellow color single stage urethane I dont remember what brand it was. The single stage candy apple gold metalic paint TCP calles it "firethorn red" I picked up from TCP Global and the name of the brand is called Restoration Shop and cost $120.00 shipping and all. The one from TCP is a complete kit that comes with the hardner and reducer. And it sprays very well for the money. They say that you do not have to add the reducer. But I found adding 1 part to 4 parts of paint makes it spray real smooth. I like the Eastwood epaoxy primer, it sparays very well through my primer gun. The only thing about the Eastwood Epoxy is that it is a b***h to clean up the gun after I'm done. But that just goes to show how well the stuff works. I restore my trucks as daily drivers so the single stage paints are the best way to go for me. They look good and hold up well. And I don't have to worry about nicks and scratches because for what it costs for the paint. I can always repaint the trucks if i want to.
