Don't paint epoxy 121 with a paint brush
I tried painting my chassis today with epoxy 121. It says it can be brushed on. What they didn't say was that it would look Shite!
Looks like a trip to the sand blasters is on the cards!
Here is a pic from my ipcam without the close up detail!

I used a water based enamel...I've never had good results with water based paints before, but I though these guys must know what they are doing
right ?
Well.......it doesn't adhere..doesn't dry (after 4/6 weeks at approaching 100 degrees....) so you are not alone suffering from shite paint
syndrome.
Sooo it's grit blast and re-paint for me too, but I'm going to build it up and run it a bit..at least it will photograph OK, and
I'll be sound if I need more welding.....Looking on the bright side eh?
