Its a good product. I had my body down to metal. Prepped the metal with WGR and put three coats of SPI epoxy down. Then followed up with some HB (high build) primer from them (careful, the high build is an ISO paint, the epoxy is not). Blocked the HB down and sealed it all up with three more (maybe two, I forget) coats of SPI epoxy and its on the road.

Simple road use, no rain but that wont hurt it. Extended time in the sun (like three years of constant outdoor use) might, it doesnt have any UV additives in it. Time will tell.

I plan on driving the car now and not worrying too much about the epoxy primer. So far so good. It has a better abrasion resistance than a top coat would have LOL Not that you want to have your top coat of primo paint subjected to abrasion. But I have small kids. They still dont get the idea they cant drag their toys across dads car when walking by it, but they do.

Anyway.. Pics of the SPI epoxy primer car. JR
