Old dog, new tricks, late model collision repairs
Doing some collision repairs on a late model Volkswagen Touareg. A little different from my usual rust repair and restoration work. German cars always seem to provide a unique set of challenges for an old school bodyman.

    So many guys or people talk sealer over primer, but why add a chance to make more work on you ? Now with some of the colors I've work with there are toners to help with color match that would be the only reason for a sealer in my book. But there is a couple of different colors of primer that is on the market to help with toners under your paint ? That's my way of doing it.

      ​@@JohnnymidnightHi John, it's Jim S. and I can tell you where that whole thing came from. I was a paint rep. for a long time in your area, and this whole "got to put epoxy down first" was a procedure that ICBC demanded on the FORD vehicles that had some panels that were galvanized from factory. And to make repairs that were as close to factory quality ICBC made a coat of epoxy mandatory on those vehicles, before and subsequent filler work. Well, pretty soon the whole thing snowballed into every repair on every make had to have a coat of epoxy, before anything else was applied. It's just a big distortion of what they called for on some vehicles for a period of time. Some guys have in their past had a talking to about what should have been done, by the insurance adjusters, or their boss, and now think it's the rule. No filler that I ever sold said in the TDS sheet that it HAD to be put on epoxy primer, but you can if you want to.

    Hey John I have more questions, the epoxy primer that you use, does it have three parts to it , base ,reducer, activator. IT is not the 2k stuff is it. I am finding it all confusing ,with all the videos on you tube about painting. Then the guys at NAPA know less than I do . I just want to get it right. And because it is winter do I need to get a fast activator ,for both the primers and the paint. Is the activator the same stuff for both the primers and the paint. And do they all use the same reducer.

    • @Johnnymidnight
      @Johnnymidnight 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There will be 3 parts, primer, hardener and reducer, every brand is different, but it will likely use the same urethane reducer as the basecoat. Fast reducer for colder temperatures 👍🏼
