Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Last night I hosed two cans of Eastwood "Internal Frame Coating" through the boxed sections of the frame as well as my notches, which of course leaked out of every orifice.

Eastwood had told me previously that you can spray an epoxy primer over their IFC, but could only guarantee that it works with Eastwood Epoxy Primer. I figured I would chance it.

Except that if I sprayed Epoxy again, I would have to wait 4 hours before I could final paint down. So off to KMS Tools to get a gallon of reducer for my epoxy and I sprayed it as a sealer (as per data sheet), which means I can spray colour in 30 minutes.

Nothing wrinkled, so I'm probably good to go.

Sprayed PPG Delfleet Essential gloss black over the frame and bits I primered yesterday:



Taking a break until next weekend, so I can relax for the first time this summer. Wheeee!

Next Summer's goal: Colour!
