jotun epoxy onto galv?

[steveo3002]

got something with fresh galv on it , id like to paint it for appearance , should i scuff the galv first ?

Yes, a sweep blast would be even better.

87 isn't recommended for galv.
A better Jotun product is Penguard HB but if it's not critical you should be all right.

 

[steveo3002]

it not overly important , was just going to use whatever i have laying around

 

[steveo3002]

or better off not touching the galv for better protection?

 

[Dcal]

The paint will improve the protection so no issue with that.

The sweep blast is to just roughen the surface not remove any galv, sanding will do the same, just not as well (or as quick)

 

[steveo3002]

yeah ok...i dont have any blasting gear

Mordant wash will, I assume, also work for your chosen product.

I wouldn't use the wash under the epoxy.
Just sand it well, clean it and put the 87 on.
It will work fine.
