I used PPG epoxy primer when i painted the engine compartment of my SS. It was the first time i had ever painted and it was very easy to work with. Mixing was simple, just following all the instructions on the info paper youl get with the primer/paint. Go to a real paint shop and theyll give you any advice or info you need. I told the guy it was my first time painting and what i wanted out of the final job. paint supplies cost me just under 400(primer, color, clear, with hardeners and reducers and prep-sol.) The area was rough to start with. I used sandpaper and a wire brush to clean everything up. I then cleaned the hell out of everything i could see feel or get to. Im very pleased with how it turned out. I had no runs at all with the primer and it really smoother everything out.
