Primer help

[paulk68]

Alright so I am going to be sanding some of the smaller body panels trunk lid, valance panels ect. and i will be storing them as i work on my car. could take a few years. i know that eventually i want to epoxy prime these long term but what is my best option for protecting them right now? I want to put something on them to prevent rust but also will not need to be sanded off for the poly primer in a year or so. I do not have a compressor or i would just epoxy them. would i be better off sanding them my self then taking the panels to have them put in epoxy or is there something i can rattle can on them for the time being. thanks

Some one is selling rattle can epoxy, maybe SEM. I think that would be your best bet.

I have bought from a local chain called Warehouse Paint automotive SEM weld through, high build and epoxy primer in a rattle can for small projects within the last 12 months. I believe it was when I was touching up the car trailer I bought and didn't want to get too carried away with mixing and cleaning to spray.

Anything in a rattle can is basically a laquer type 1k product and will not offer you any good protection. Take the parts and have them epoxy primed with a good 2 component product.

Try Spies Hecker 3255 or 4085 both come in spray can

Why not just buy a compressor,it doesn't have to be big or expensive,check local craigslist. Epoxy primer is the ultimate protection,even years down the road, just roughen it up and it's ready for body work,primer or paint.
