CPES, prime or not--
Pro of cpes is you don't have to prime, one less step. I found the problem is, if your using pearl paint, it tends to run and you have to put it on very slowly. Opaques seem to go on easier.
Anybody have more experience/suggestions?

How is this method any different than priming?  |

Bill ,, threads about cpes ... it says in the information with the product .. No need for primer... its paint ready ... Why do it then ? I have to take more care sharpening my tools ,,sanding,, because I don't have a coat of primer filling in all that tear out,dents and other crap .$$$$cpes$$$ I'm happy to cut out a step .. I'm looking for vmc hook swing at the end of the season with rest of the paint intact .

Ed;
Thanks, I understand that. What I don't understand is how your first coat of "rattle can paint" is any different than a primer coat if you are painting with the air brush afterwards.
Would "paint ready" not mean that you would go right at it with the air brush?
Please know I am not questioning your decision or method I am just trying to grasp this whole idea.
Thanks Ed!

I usually put a coat of opaque white on every plug I do first, as a base. Then start with the colors. But I also prime and don't seal with the stuff you are using Dave. I don't know it seems to work for me but I am no expert. I am willing to listen to any ideas when it comes to the finishing process   |
