Howard, You can get a good epoxy primer from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty (1-877-477-7823). This epoxy is used on aluminum and is fast drying, corosion inhibiting, and cures at temperatures as low as 35 degrees F. Comes in either green or white. Green: EP-420/EP-430 P/N 09-00352 White: EP-420/EP-430 P/N 09-00285 Mixing rate is 2 parts base, 1 part catalyst and yields 2 1/2 quarts. Cost: $67.80 Clarence -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Howard Audsley <haudsley@tranquility.net>
That would be the one. Not sure it's as easy as we are led to believe. Along the lines of "brain surgery is easy if you know how".
I think I can find the Deltron at the local auto parts store that sells auto paint. Where does one find the epoxy primer? Exact product name, number or source? Would the auto parts store have that as well?
Would you also cover with a clear cote? Maybe two or three coats of paint and one clear cote over that? Or, for a flatter look, maybe three coats of paint and skip the clear cote?

Sand it well, spray on an epoxy primer, sand the primer, then paint with LP or Deltron. Easy as pie.

Not long ago Jerry told us how to paint aluminum masts. I saved the note, but then lost my entire email. The address book and all saved
emails.
If anyone saved it and can forward it to me, I'd appreciate it. Seems to me like it involved either Deltron or Imron automotive paint.
