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!

Geeze, I hope you all don't think that I'm a knuckle draggin' moron, but you lost me at CPES. What's that?

Clear penetrating epoxy sealer. Somewhere, the system three web site "epoxy book" perhaps, suggests this may not be a good topcoat, though I forget why.

Just a guess George, but i would say it is just too watery for a top coat.

The "epoxy book" available through System Three's site claims that "penetrating" epoxies contain a solvent and consequently have poor strength and, more concerningly, poor moisture resistance. Of course they are hardly an objective resource and it seems to me that the moisture resistance of their Clear Coat product isn't all it's cracked up to be either, at least when mixed by weight in small quantities. Go figure.

I'm in the same boat as BBJ, I know nothing about CPES.

How is it to work with, any fumes ?? Did anyone use this stuff last year, and if so how did the paint hold up ?
