I have a 68 mustang Ive built with all new dynacorn sheet metal. so the panels are straight, no dents but have some waves that are typical of new panels.
I wanted some opinions from those more knowledgeable than myself about which system I should use for this situation
DTM polyester primer for laser straight panel and then seal with epoxy followed by basecoat/clearcoat?
or
epoxy and then highbuild urethane followed by basecoat/clearcoat?
I have heard of epoxy, then polyester, then 2k
I have also heard of filler then epoxy and basecoat/clearcoat if panels are straight...given that polyester primer is sprayable filler, i figured 3 coasts of polyester primer (roughly a gallon) followed by 2 maybe 3 coats of epoxy as a sealer would be perfect.
What are your thoughts on this? Like I said there arent any dents, just waves from being a new pannel but if the poly gives a better base with less shrinkage and pullback than a 2k and the epoxy is a better sealer and more waterproof than 2k why wouldnt I just polyester primer and then epoxy as a sealer? My thought process may be wrong but thats where my head is at right now.
Thoughts are appreciated.
