Epoxy Primer

A two-part primer that has the capabilities of an etching and filling primer. To initiate the chemical reaction between the primer and the catalyst, some epoxy primers need to stand a predetermined amount of time before it is applied. Epoxy primers are especially effective in weld joint areas, areas that won't be top coated and enclosed areas such as the box section of a frame rail.

Note:
Epoxy primer is an etch and fill primer in one. Its use, replaces the two step process required if self etch and filler primer are applied separately.
