galespi primer paint

[bcowanwheels]

i bought 2 gallong of galespi red primer from rapco and its called ZP RED PRIMER........ NOT RED OXIDE 111 LIKE I,VE GOT FOR YEARS. dont buy this paint !!!!!!!! its junk......... i shook it for 30 minutes while doing my final cleanning readying for shooting. i opened the can and took a paint stick and sent it to the bottom of the can to make sure it was shanken up good and felt no resistance so I figured its ready to shoot ! when i pulled the stick out of the new full can it was almost completely "CLEAR" WITH ONLY very slight tint of red. what ?????? so i was in a pickle and had a couple of bare metal parts that needed to be painted before the rain moved in. well 4 coats and i can still see thru it. I,am calling rapco first thing in the mornning. fellas you do not want this paint. I,AM going to open my 24087 paint to see if that quality is also bad. just a fyi

It sound like they did not put the tint in it.
I have started using an epoxy primer from PPG "Omni 170"

I've never had a problem with Rapco paint, including the primer. I use it on all my vehicles. Contact Mark and see what he can do to make it right for you, he is a good guy and easy to work with.

Cheers

That probably tells you something. I cases of the rattle cans and a few gallons of "383" and never had a problem.

Well only 1 can of primer has a problem so to work it out and be obligeing i think its best to just "cut" the good primer with this non-tinted stuff. Its not likE i,am building a porche. I,ll still buy from rapco because nothing in life is perfect except Jesus Christ imo
