Prep and apply exactly as they tell you and the stuff works fantastic. Best out there in my opinion and experience.<br /><br />One thing on ZR that I recommend is always top coat it with something. Even if it is only DPLF primer.<br /><br />Wishing you and your family the best and a Merry Christmas to you all!SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-77464980056954879462014-12-20T10:43:28.332-05:002014-12-20T10:43:28.332-05:00Looking good, Sven!

I've been a DuPont guy, but elected to go PPG since the reps here in the area are much more knowledgeable and helpful. I'm using the DP40 since I'm going for a more original "primered" look on the underside. Zero Rust will coat the interior. I'll have to check out that hinge kit. It looks nice. And as usual, your work is stellar! Have a happy and blessed Christmas.deo1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637879831843277574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-53795057775639457672014-12-19T20:13:34.076-05:002014-12-19T20:13:34.076-05:00That is an easy one to answer!

I am particular to the DP40LF (Gray-Green), DP50LF (Light Gray) and DP90LF (Black). These are my "go-to" epoxy primers for just about anything I do and they are relatively easy to shoot, lay nice and flat and provide a tough, corrosion resistant base for all other work.SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-26249767234607596902014-12-19T17:46:45.936-05:002014-12-19T17:46:45.936-05:00I might have to try it out when I get to that poin...I might have to try it out when I get to that point, I know for sure that I want to use the ppg on the car. Since we are on the topic of paint, what do you consider as the best epoxy formula?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610748162716054096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-21238142770760340372014-12-18T21:46:38.689-05:002014-12-18T21:46:38.689-05:00Thanks Grant!

I forget the earlier cars have the cast hinges and it's really a bummer because the kit works very well.<br /><br />Thank you as well for the compliments on the trunk paint. If you ever decide to try it, the SEM Trim Black lays down really smooth and easy. Their Hot Rod Black is just as nice too. These days, SEM products are just about the only non-PPG finishes I spray.SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-66056253279882454662014-12-18T19:02:51.985-05:002014-12-18T19:02:51.985-05:00Sven, those door hinges are pretty slick.
