Bodywork/Epoxy primer question...
Ok, I'm one of the new guys, but I've done alot of reading about epoxy priming and body work. I'm not new to bodywork, but this is my first "down to bare metal" job, everything else was just repair stuff. Anyway, I got the roof and pillars completely stripped and cleaned of all material, sanded everything down with 80g paper, mixed the primer and let it set for 35-40 min, sprayed two coats on, and everything went pretty well after some spray gun malfunction. (do not clean gun with thinner prior spraying epoxy, if not 100% dry in every orifice, the gun will gum up) When I got up today I walked out to the shop and ther sat my shiny gray primed roof, It actually shined more than some of the paint jobs I've seen. My question is...Is this normal? I've never sprayed epoxy, but I've also never seen primer that came out of the gun and had a gloss to it at all. Has anyone seen this? I will try to attach a pic if I can figure it out. Thanks
