Hi;
I have picked up most of the information I need from this Forum but I just need to clarify some timings for the following steps.
I'll be paint the underside of my Mini using the following steps:
1. Treated Surface Rust with Rust Converter.
2. Epoxy Primer 2 Coats.
3. Seam Sealer.
4. Epoxy Primer 1 Coat.
5. Gravitex (U-POL) with Shutz Gun.
6. Cellulose Top Coat (Sufficient Coats to colour)
I'll also be painting the inside the boot, inside the car (specifically the floor).
1. Surfaces keyed with 320 Grit Wet and Dry (Old Paint and Bare Metal, minimal surface Rust).
2. Epoxy Primer 2 Coats.
3. Seam Sealer.
4. Epoxy Primer 1 Coat.
5. Cellulose Top Coat (2 -3 Coats)
How long do I need to leave between the coats of Epoxy?
How long to I need to leave before Seam Sealing?
How long do I need to leave before spraying Epoxy Primer over the Seam Sealer?
How long do I need to leave before spraying U-POL Gravitex over the Epoxy (thread here suggest there may be a reaction) should I spray a couple of smooth thinned coats of Gravitex? If so how much thinners?
How long do I need to leave before spraying Top coat over Gravitex or over Epoxy if not using Gravitex?
I understand that if I leave the Epoxy once it is 'Through Dry' (10 Days or so) it will need to be keyed with 800 Grit Wet and Dry?
I am looking for the quickest timings / days but obviously want to do it right?
I have another question but i'll post it separately.
Thanks
