Primer Help

[billfury]

Need some help from the paint experts please? I’m switching paint guy’s do to the first one’s life got in the way. I found another guy who I seen some of his work seems to be perfect. My car is now in epoxy primer sealer painted by the first guy. I showed the car to the 2nd guy and he said for me to sand it all down because I should have used etching primer. I thought the epoxy primer sealer was better. Someone please clarify this for me. I tried to read other post about this and it’s confusing. I’m not selling the car so I’m not looking to take any short cuts. Thanks.

Your second guy is wrong epoxy is what you should use, sounds like you should be looking for a third guy.

Agreed, my car was epoxy primed/sealed first.

Etching primer is old school. Epoxy is the only way to go.

Etch primer is not necessary form what I have learned so far and been told by my new body guy and others since I was getting hosed by my first. Just find you another paint guy. Sounds like my first wants to do things that are not necessary just to add more to my bill.
