Which epoxy primer?

[burgundyben]

I'm going to paint a plywood transom in 2 pack Epifanes Blue 854, its a very dark colour.

I need a dark epoxy primer, which one?

Perfection primer is only in white.

I can;t make sense of the Hempel website.

I tried Nautix but it was really realy realy thick and hopeless to apply.

I should have said, epifanes primer is only in white, no good for going under dark blue.

Nobody?

Nobody?

not usually in this forum, but have you tried pigments on clear epoxy? I've used them a bit and apart from the fact that I ended up getting a bit more Part2 in the mix, all was fine.

cheers

The one I use in Greece is PERSONS two pack in white or grey. It's very good, and works with 2 pack epoxy and polyurethane paints[

Gelshield is supplied in grey and green. Good low temperature application. Either colour gets covered by black a/f well.

I do like Epifanes.

Contact Marineware (www.marineware.com) as main distributors, they will be able to advise you on the correct primer for dark blue top coat. You'll need at least a couple of primer coats and 2 topcoats rubbing down between coats to get a decent finish. Preparation is the key !

I tried to contact Marinewear via email, but no reply...likewise Boatpaint in Gosport...no reply.

Despite the best efforts of the Hempel web development team to effect a smoke screen around their products, I found in the chandler a tin of Hempel epoxy primer in dark blue. Perfect.

Use Jotun Penguard HB two part epoxy primer.
