67/68/69 cuda dilemma
I got an out of date PPG light grey primer kit from work. Comes as one gallon of base, one gallon of activator. 1 to 1 mix ratio. Makes 2 gallons of material. More than enough to spray this car body. Its a commercial aircraft primer coating. States its corrosion inhibiting. When stuff like this hits its expiration date its no longer concidered good to use on aircraft. If not used up it has to be destroyed, unless somebody wants to use it on their home project as it lessens the amount of **** in the chemical waste stream the company has to pay to get rid of.
Even though its out of date, theres nothing wrong with it mind you, just cannot be used for aircraft after the expiration date. I am going to run the grey base gallon up to work and put it on the paint shaker machine for about 30 minutes. I will research its part number as well. See if its got good adhesion for spraying on bare automotive steel. If so, its going on.
I bought my son that electric orbital sander from china freight i was talking about. I will outfit him w a respirator as well. I figure if it lasts long enough to sand the car down then ***** itself then it was worth the money. We are going to try to get the drivers door ready to primer by sunday afternoon. Then maybe i will spray it monday afternoon. I want him to see a light at the end of the tunnel. This is why we are doing a panel at a time. Easier to see results with one panel repaired, feeling smooth, and in fresh primer coat.
