Title: Looking for a primer?
Post by: bombdesignz on April 02, 2018, 08:14:11 PM
Hey everyone! My name is Nikki I'm new here and got a quick question. Ive got a 1954 f100 we're making into a shop truck for now I'm wanting a flat black primer that will seal it from the elements while going up and down the road, but something that at a later date if we decide to actually paint i can do my body work over the top of..
Any suggestions?

Opinions very. I liked the old PPG DP90 epoxy primer. It was great. Now days its DPLF which is a lead free version of the same sealer primer. Here's a link to the data sheet:
