Lockylockwood Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hi all, I have just bought a galvanised rear door with a heated window. It comes unpainted so I was wondering what I should spray it with before the final coat? if someone could make some product suggestions for me and perhaps tell me what type of final paint to buy too. Here’s a picture of my defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Assuming it’s new and freshly galvanised: Degrease and thoroughly clean. Then use mordant solution (also called T-wash) to prepare the fresh galvanising. You can then apply your normal choice of primer/paint system on top as you would for normal steel. As for which top cost to use, that depends what your facilities and skill level is, and what kind of finish you are after. The best results will come from professional 2-pack epoxy paints, but these can be dangerous to spray in the home environment. Coach paint and a roller can even produce acceptable results! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
