Default RE: Primer

Sean,
Mach, I don't mean this in any negative way, but have you used a gallon or more of K-36 or K-36 and shot it with HVLP equipment? I've seen reports of this before and found out later that the person had "seen" k-36, or sanded on some K-36, but had not actually used the stuff. I'm just trying to make sure this stuff didn't come up because of the sticker shock on other primers. Not that 11 bucks for a spray bomb is cheap by any means.
Yeah, I've been using K-36 and PPG paints for 10 or more years.
As far as chipping and such, that makes no sense at least from the way I finish an airplane.
I end up sanding most all the primer off anyway. After you spray a base coat of white, then
add the color coat(s) then the clear, what's to chip. If you bang it hard enough to chip the primer....well.

All I know is that I've sanded and finished a bunch of jets and this is the primer I will use from now on.

(I probably would not use it to refinish a Porsche, though)
