Eastwood epoxy primer

Use it. Anything epoxy is better than regular primer. I would use it and not think twice. A recommendation though. Get MEK at your local Lowes in the paint section to clean it out of your paint gun. Anything epoxy primer/paint related dries like ******* concrete Once it dries in your paint gun, you might as well throw it away. I have a nice Sata Jet HVLP copy I bought at my local auto body supply probably 17-18 years ago. Still works great.

I am using free out of date light grey Akzo Noble radome primer from my job. It's a 2 part epoxy that's impact resistant. PN is 512x310. This stuff is freaking great. Dries hard as a rock in a few hours. Heres a rim I shot with it on friday afternoon.

I use paper disposable Dixie cups to dip out the primer and activator. I use one cup for each part so I dont contaminate the base or activator. About a half a Dixie cup of each part mixed up in a plastic paint pail is enough to primer one whole rim with none or very little material left over

Good info. It can be hard to judge how much paint to use when painting wheels and other small parts without wasting the product, which has become quite expensive as we all know.
