I dont think that epoxy can be packaged in premixed form. Epoxy is a 2 part coating that starts hardening as soon as the 2 parts are mixed.. Just like epoxy glue or JB weld(which is an epoxy too).


I used eurethane primer on mine which is a step down from epoxy but worlds above laquer based primers in my opinion. Laquer based primers are mainly thinner, which then slowly evaporates causing sanding marks in your new paint. Also you need to spray alot more of it because of the fact that most of it is just evaporating away.

Anyway, if you can find a way to use a pro sprayer you'll be much better off than anything you find in a can.

epoxy primer.....

Epoxy primer is usually only used as a sealer. This product is not really designed to be used a a fill primer. Although it can have some minor filling capabilities. Most large shops will use urethane primers because they are designed to be used to fill imperfections sich as minor scratces cause by sanding. If you ever have questions go to your local auto body supply store & ask those guys. They will usually be able to guide you in what to use for your particular application as well as have the products to sell to you. Good Luck.
