Re: Quick paint question

Working outside in those conditions here's what I do. First I wipe all the bare metal down with metal prep with zinc. Apply 2 coats aluminum pigmented moisture cured permanent rust sealer/primer,{non leafing} apply epoxy or urethane surfacing primer over it the same day. Then go from there. Epoxy primer is waterproof but not airtight , that's why it contains a zinc as a rust preventative. Zinc Is sacrificial so if you left it in epoxy primer for a year outdoors there's a good chance you might have rust bleed thru.
