Les Brock Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Those who have done this already........ Best sequence for painting T-Wash - Seam sealer - Primer - Top coat Seam sealer - T wash - Primer - top coat how long can you leave it after T- washing before primer and does the T-Wash have any effect on the rust resistancy Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I was told: T-Wash - Etch Primer - High-build Primer - Topcoat(s) Don't know where the best place to insert the seam sealer into the process would be, but apparently a high-build primer is necessary to get a perfect finish with galv. It may be that you can get combined high-build and etch primers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 T wash first. I use a garden hand-pump pressure sprayer to make the job easy & get it in all the nooks & crannies. Make sure its all dry before starting the paint. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
