Re: beginner painting
Mastercoat is knock off POR 15 product isn't it? I personally had great results with POR 15 on a blasted frame and top coated it with chassis black when it got tacky and it still looks great to this day. However there are a couple of reasons i would not use it on autobody panels.......1. to get the surface profile for me to feel comfortable that it is going to stick would require blasting the panels with such an aggressive media that i am sure there would not be a straight panel left. 2. No epoxy manufacturer is going to recommend to put their product on top of Mastercoat. 3. I am painting a car or truck and not a bridge or locomotive. 4. Painting is a system of coatings working together not piling multiple products on top of each other and crossing your fingers. 5. With the costs of base coats and clears and the amount of labor required to paint a vehicle i would not risk a paint job failure based on one web site or one persons recommendation (including mine).
We all have our own opinions and way of doing things to each their own. I will continue to use the latest technology, chemistry and engineering of this century and you can use means and methods that may have been used 30 or 40 years ago.
