You come to any conclusions about primer?
Think you’re doing it with a proper setup, compressor and gun right?
In at the other end of the spectrum with my paintjobs but still trying to do as good a job as I can.
I’ve painted four frames with a couple different zinc rich primers now and been pretty happy with the results. Used two different aerosol primers and most recently a brush on primer from Paragon. That’s on the frame I just built for my mate, hoping it lasts and protects as well as the aerosol ones because it was so much nicer to use. I have no spray booth etc so painting with aerosols generally means everything in the garage gets a coat of dry paint/primer dust all over it.
I went for zinc primer as I read on car forums about the anodic protection they give which certainly seems to be working on the first frame I painted with it which now has picked up a couple chips and a raw edge where I trimmed the hooded track ends after painting and there’s no rust developing on any of the exposed metal.

Still mulling over what primer I should be buying for future use. Anyone with any strong views on epoxy primer vs etch primer? I've mostly been using etch primer so far, but I've been reading Vehement Internet Opinions that on bare steel epoxy is the way to go. Anyone got any views on which would be better for future use?
