Austin,Thanks,I guess it's all in which you want to use,I like the epoxy because of one step instead of two and the adhesion IS awesome.Unless we do our own tests we can only go by what others say.I say use whatever works for ya,the main thing is trying to prevent rust,anything will rust if it gets a scratch but,epoxy seems to withstand that better.Take Care,jim

I bet you'd even get a drum for even less than the $143 total of 11 5 gallon drums.
Pretty good deal. I remember when I was paying close to that, amazing all the rise in costs!

Mo,This is from HOK's site-RU300 exempt is for 70-80 degrees and is made to meet the strict VOC regulations(california I'm assuming).Anything made to meet these guidelines is genrally more expensive.RU310 is fast for 65-75,RU311 is med.for 75-85,RU312 is slow for 85-95 and they have a RU313 that is very slow for 95-110 degrees.
I've always used a med reducer for paint and never had any problems,Now clear on the otherhand,I like a slow for summer and a med when it gets colder around 70 in the shop.Jim

Thanks Jim. I thought it must be something like that but wasn't sure. I sometimes have trouble maintaining 70 in my shop and shoot with out the fan to keep the heat in, and turn it on when I'm done. It gets down to about 67 at times, so I hope the mid temp. reducer will work well....Mo
You'll be fine with the base,it's the clear that may give you some trouble,med may run if you go too thick for each coat,fast would be good but,I like the flowout of a slower reducer,I'd rather have a run than orange peel.67 is pushing the limit for clear.you'll see what I mean as you paint more in differant temps,It took me awhile to realize useing the differant temp reducers makes life easier.
Jim
Your right on with the runs vs. orange peel. Trying to sand out orange peel around the rivits is a bear. I find it a lot eaiser to use a a strip of masking tape and lift out the run when it still a little tacky. Most of the time, the second or third coat will cover it. Thanks for the info.....Mo
