Just finished spraying all the J20's front and inner panels with PPG-Desoto Desoprime expoxy primer.
This is a two part epoxy primer used on commercial airliners and the end result is like powder coating , hard and tough !
It has to be sand blasted or wire brushed off , it won't come off with paint stripper.
If you want to use this paint and have an airport nearby try and get friendly with one of the workshops , this paint has a shelf life of 12 months for aviation use and costs $200 to $400 gallon , I can pick up expired tins of paint for around $10 gallon and it will be still ok for use on your jeep for another 1 or 2 years.
There are 2 parts to the paint , a base component (colored) and an activator component (clear) in separate cans so make sure you get both components.
I'll post some photos tomorrow.
