Popular Post Willie dog Posted May 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2016 Got all the paint stripped off and sanded to clean bare metal. Applied two coats of a lovely colored etching primer and now the fun begins.....BODYWORK! Every evening when I'm done it looks likea ccocaine factory blew up. White dust everywhere. 11 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45331-let-the-games-begin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Looks good! Looks like Variprime? You know when you are done sanding when you start sanding while you sleep. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

You know when you are done sanding when you start sanding while you sleep. It's Nason brand etching primer. Still made by Dupont (Axalta now) but a WHOLE lot less expensive. Sanding while sleeping....haven't tried that yet. But it may explain the other night when my wife thought I was trying to be romantic and I was dreaming I was block sanding the wquarter panel! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45331-let-the-games-begin/#findComment-334251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 they still make Variprime? that use to be some good stuff. thought they got rid of it cause it had too many bad things that the tree huggers didn't like. another reason its hard to buy good clear coat now a days 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45331-let-the-games-begin/#findComment-334311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Variprime is now under the Axalta name (ex Dupont). I haven't used it in quite a while and the guv. probably has outlawed the really good stuff out of it. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Willie dog Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Veriprime is still available but for both components it runs around $450 for both gallons. Whichever one you use they both have very noxious fumes even for a few days after spraying.

I can't wait to paint all of it and start putting it back together. It's satisfying to put freshly painted parts together!
