Re: Painting a Suburban part two
To be clear, you can mix different branded product layers. It's perfectly acceptable to use different brands of primers and top coats. What should never be done is mix different branded activators with branded primers and top coats. The reason for this is because once the product applied has cured, it is ready. There's lots of brands that recommend staying with same because they want to sell their "system". Reducers can vary in quality, but a good one can be used in all the products on the market, so long as it's a good quality. Lots of crappy reducer out there, so pay for a good one.
I have never seen a lousy expensive primer in all my years in the business, but I have seen lots of junky, cheap primers and crappy spray guns make a mess of nice primer.
There's no such thing as good, cheap paint (and primer).
