I will do some small epoxy hull repairs...will this need prime over the repairs first or ok to paint directly over?

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

I wouldn't hesitate to paint it. If in doubt, scuff a bit with sandpaper first.

I have a lot of experience doing both. Easy to cut. Easy to paint. For better adhesion, a better look and for durability use a primer before painting.

As for curing, it is more important to apply it correctly then you can just put it into service. If you have done much painting you already know to clean your surface and depending on how clean you want your paint to be, use a tac cloth just before painting. I would recommend preping your surface with 220 grit then 320 grit and then 400 grit sandpaper. You can go to even finer sand paper but you dont need to. Spray one light coat, we call it a tac coat in the industry, and only spray on enough to apply a thin layer. This will give you great adhesion for the next coat that you can now lay on nice and "wet" with very little fear of runs. Make sure you let your paint completely dry before putting it into service, to be safe, 12 hours is best but you can gat away with 4 if you have it out in the sun.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

It's better to glue your parts together before painting. That way you will get a much better bonding of parts together. Than too you can cover up your joint with paint better and make it not so noticeable.

It would seem to me that you could do this. I found that the clear coat does not go as far as the epoxy does in coverage. You may need additional clear coat.

Yes, it is paintable. I'm an autobody repair technician with 25+ years experience, so I am definitely qualified to answer your question. I would give it at least 24 hours to cure before you spray anything over it (such as primer). I've never had a problem with bubbling, peeling etc. when painting over this product, so you should be ok as long as you give it enough time before you do your prep work.

No prep is needed. You would probably like more than the one brush it comes with. If the numbers are pretty dark, I would try to maybe erase them a little. I haven't tried this yet but was thinking about it if my next one had such dark numbers. I had to repaint over the numbers so they wouldn't show through the paint. But I loved the finished product! It is a gorgeous painting.

I am not sure, but I have a feeling it will be ok. I am not a fan of instamorph though, I can tell you that. I usually use 2 part epoxy like green stuff in it, and that works great and paints great as well.

1. No paint needed unless you want to.2. As I said in my review be very careful on getting the claws off the trees as this will determine whether your Epyon is a transformable MS or not.3.While you don't have to worry about getting the heat rod parts off be careful while putting it together. Cause if you do complete it you won't have to worry about it breaking. 4. Take your time while building this MS.

Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent. You MUST use the special roller coming from the package. Other roller will be melt very quickly. Please wear a good mask as smell is very strong and may be not good to your health. Mix half of paint + epoxy at a time so you can do two coats. Plan well where you will start so not corner yourself. Try to finish one coat from one end to the other. Do not overlay if possible as it will break your roller - dry really fast! Cannot be perfect, but try cover every area. If missed in first coat, pay attention on second coat (wait for 24 hours). The paint is sufficient (barely) for two coats. Good luck. Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

Yes it is, Bry but i'm going to use it on a stock i will design and build. I suggest sanding the paint from all prods, and checking for cracks and air chambers near the glass reinforced plastic (fiberglass). A breaking prod could do permanent damage. I have found imperfections under paint. V these out for more glueing surface area. I recommend West System G-flex epoxy only, for such extreme requirements.

humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat. I bet there are other products that are more durable and made for that purpose. There is something I cannot remember that helps paint stick to plastic and vinyl. it is a prep spay that makes paint stick better. If you use some paint like product that will help. I think if you research protecting spays you will find something better. I think there are rubber spays, that are stronger than plastidip, and that are not peal-able. You might want to research other products. humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat.

Needs to be totally dry, time depends on the temperature and exposure to sunlight. If in doubt, let it dry longer so primer and paint adhere properly.
