Buzz Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi: I was wondering what primer to paint the front fenders with,I was going to use epoxy primer DP40 under the fenders to keep out moisture and under coat over the primer or do I need a top coat or sealer over the epoxy,also should I use epoxy on the outside of the fenders.The fenders are new nissan with factory primer on them.I live in new york. Not a daily driver. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeatrpi Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Epoxy itself usually only needs to be topcoated to prevent chalking due to the sun. If I were going all-out on the restoration, I'd paint the inside of the fenders with epoxy and topcoat with some cheap black single stage. Undercoating is probably just extra weight in this application (that is my opinion, no facts to back it up). Look into the Omni line of epoxy and MAE acrylic enamel for this (and your underbody, floor, suspension parts, etc)- decent stuff and low cost. That said... I brushpainted two coats of Rustoleum on the inside of my fenders, on top of the factory coating. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
