Primer for PPG Concept

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

One more thing Bob, I've found that OMNI fast urethane enamel catalyst  
(another PPG product line) cures the K36 superbly. Have used it over the  past year 
and half with excellent results. It is used sparingly something like 4  parts 
paint to 1 part catalyst, and cures hard enough to sand in about 3  hours at 
70 degrees. The OMNI thinner works extremely well also. These are  inexpensive 
alternatives to Concept thinner and catalyst.
 
While I am at it, let me give another plug to the OMNI line. If you have  
access to a decent automotive paint supplier, the OMNI paints work very well in  
out application and are about 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of concept depending on 
color.  The shop near me mixes every color I need to match anything. The only 
problem is  the minimum amount--1 pint min quantity (at about $10-$14 depending on 
regular  or metallic, so its not bad). Fast catalyst comes in half pint 
quantity and  costs around $12, and a gallon of medium reducer costs around $22. 
Still working  off the original purchase so catalyst shelf life has proven to be 
very  good, even in humid NEFla.
 
Hopefully Tony can carry this line also and supply it in smaller quantity  
possibly?

Correct, same stuff. Mixes very well and sprays great, and isn't terribly  
heavy. I usually add some more talcum powder (Johnson Baby Powder without  
starch) in mine and thin a little more. Even easier filling, sanding and  feathering

Matt,
 
Is the K36 material you referred to a PPG product.  Sorry, but I'm  back in a 
time warp now that my K&B is running out, so I'm starting from  scratch.  Is 
this the primer that Tony Stillman sells for the concept  system.
 
Again TIA,
 
Bob Miller

Bob, do you mean other than the K36 material? Catalysed K36 cures  quickly 
and sands well and is about as fuel resistant as regular Concept  or OMNI.
 
I am experimenting with KlassKote epoxy primer (like the old reliable  K&B) 
but nothing to report yet.
