The epoxy primer label warned that "positive pressure mask is required" which I don't have. Rather than hazard my health, I opted to rattle can the primer with Rustoleum - which can be painted over same day. That was NOT a good idea. The spray cans dripped in gushes and despite wrapping a rag...

Painting in progress, until I needed to move my spare 6.2 engine out of the way. Wheel came off my Harbor Freight engine stand. :(

Update: I can't get PPG DP40/401 in California. Its "non-compliant", per the Lowe Paint Co rep I just spoke with. Yet another reason I like Texas more all the time. The alternative is Proform gray epoxy primer. Its two part, one to one primer to hardener (sounds like a lot of hardener to...

Thanks, I'll call Lowe Paint Co tomorrow about the PPG DP40/401. Here is a "before" shot. I'll take photos of my work as I go. CJ

Doghead, I just got off the phone with them, and learned that the sell primer (Doh!) I found no mention of primer on their web page when I ordered two gallons of paint last week. That won't help me now. I am going to paint in two days, and won't get the primer in time via ground, so I am...

What primer can I use that I can paint over with RAPCO the same day? I have read that Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer is popular, but that it must cure for 2-3 days before a top coat is applied. My M1028 has some surface rust on the hood I'll sand and prep with POR-15 before priming. Otherwise...
