 Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 2:12 pm Post subject: M38 CDN Frame Primer Type |
 |
|
Hello:
I'm currently sandblasting my frame and am getting closer to the day I can prime it. What I need to know is what is a good primer . I must tell you that my sandblasting job is not 100% meaning I have some small areas that are not that metallic grey color. What would you recommend
Thanks
Peter (ottawa) |

| I used a product called POR15 to prime the frame on my M-38. It's made in New Jersey and you can google search it to find out where you can get it near you. It's expensive, about $40.00 a quart, but it 's supposed to chemically bond with the rust/steel to completely seal it from moisture and corrosion. It worked great on my frame. I also used it to coat the repro body I put on my jeep. Check it out. Good luck, Dennis/New Jersey |

| I'd just go down to a local body shop and ask for epoxy primer. The stuff is amazing. It hardens very quickly but it holds back any rust. |

Whatever primer you use, make sure it is compatible with your paint.

I'll second that. I did my entire M38A1 in it. The stuff is amazing. It's 1 part too, so no mixing and super easy to apply. It doesnt take very long to harden too.

hi guy's
i have been using a grey tremclad primer over bare metal, and i find it works good. normally, once a part is primed, it needs to be painted within a short time before oxidation begins. i decided to give this primer a little test before actually using on any of my military vehicles, so i cleaned a piece of truck frame free of rust, then primed it with two coats. once dry i set outside, and where i live you couldn't ask for a more salty environment. two years later, and no rust what so ever...primer still holding up well. i figure if it can handle that , then it will work well for a resto on a jeep. it can be had at canadian tire for about $40.00/ gal. p.s. i'm from N.B. too....out in the woods west of saint john. |
