Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 7:46 am Post subject: Rustoleum?

Quiet day on the site and I don't have any epoxy paint available right now, so ...

Any actual experiences or problems with using Rustoleum to touch up some nicks in powdercoat?  We're talking match-head size stuff, not repainting a length of tube.  I have small cans of primer and gloss in white, matching the powdercoat. The alternative on-hand is some clear 2-part epoxy. My metallurgist friend says to use the Rustoleum, due to the zinc in the primer.  As much as anything, I'm wondering if PolyTac will dissolve it (due to the MEK) but then re-seal the nicks. Again, I'd appreciate actual experience, not what people think maybe could happen.

Thanks 

Bob

Rustoleum will dissolve so fast it will make your head spin with anything

with MEK in it. Otherwise, it is a great paint for Steel.



The answer is that it won't work well with the Polyfiber system

 My KITFOX 2 was done in the poly system, all diana cream with a green,   Piper Cub style lightening bolt on the side.

  

 The green trim is rustoleum, applied a little over 3 years ago and has been  fine.  Looks great, very easy to apply.  I keep the cans warm, not  hot, as I spray buy keeping them in warm water. this ensures good  pressure.  Flows great, excellent coverage.  I used a mist coat, then  in about 15 min the colour coat.

  

 I am certain its not the right combination and there are better, but it was  very easy, looks great and worked for me

 I have photos to share of it....

You can paint over polyfiber stuff with Rustoleum, however, I'll buy the

beer if you let me to come over to watch you try polyfiber'ing over

Rustoleum. 



IF you used Rustoleum on your parts, and then tried to attach fabric with

polytack you would find out fast that it is not very compatible.



I use Rustoleum a lot for stuff I weld, etc. It is great paint, and quite

durable for spraycan paint. The way I remove it from stuff for welding,

etc. Is with MEK.



Regards,

Jeff
