Wooderson Jul 4th, 01, 10:25 PM I'm going to sandblast my old car trailer and am looking for a primer and paint with resistance to the elements as the only concern. I'm not concerned with a shiny color but I do want it red. The only painting I have done are chassis parts, with PPG Dp 90 black epoxy primer because a guy had told me it gives a "factory type" look and is pretty durable. Any opinions on a good primer/paint for the old trailer? MARTINSR Jul 4th, 01, 11:11 PM If you want to do the best possible, etch prime it (a vinyl wash would be the best) epoxy prime and a urethane black top coat. That is about as bullit proof as you can get. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" Big James 4XL Jul 5th, 01, 4:51 AM I used Sherwin Williams industrial coating for structural steel. First the primer and then the topcoat. Don't know if red is available though, I used black, after 6 years it looks good and no rust. This will be less expensive than the epoxy/urethane but won't look as good. ------------------ Elcaminos are special!
