Epoxy Primer and filler primer

[Rabs]

Any recommendations on epoxy primer and filler primer?

From searching it looks lechlar green TI is well recommended. I have also seen lechlar epoxy primer 29370 with the 29371 epoxy fast hardner so was thinking after advice I would go with epoxy primer on bare metal then do filler work then high build. It's a spot repair rather than whole panel.

I use lechlar 29370, but if you buy it from metal flake.co.uk, they supply it un-tinted unless you say otherwise. I have to tint mine myself .

Was planning on buying from express paints I should probably check they tint it.

Yes, good plan. Un tinted it's pretty weird/useless/horrible....

What do you tint the epoxy with Hugh?

I called up metal flake and they sent me a couple of print outs, and a couple of cans of various lechlar tinters. I told them I wanted to make a beige and a grey coloured primer. They sent 2 shades of yellow, a white and a black.

Yup that's fine, yes the TI is a very nice primer to use or Max Meyer 3011

Where you go through the epoxy to bare metal when sanding and shaping the filler, put another layer of epoxy, before the primer filler.
