Once I got it thinned it sprayed perfect. When it comes out of the gun smooth it sure does take alot of the work out of sanding. Did you use any kind of etching primer before the epoxy went on? Does the epoxy primer have an etching characteristic? Bare metal really needs to be covered in an acid wash or etching primer for the best adhesion.


Everything I read and have been told, says that epoxy is designed to shoot on bare metal.. Hope I haven't missed something...
