Like everyone else I work on the body work of my tractor when I have the time. This is a problem when I am working on complicated parts like the inside of my 730's flat top fenders. I like to use OMNI epoxy primer. I also do not have the complete confidence in my skills at getting all the dents out the first time. Years ago I used lacquer Primer and it was great. You could spray and sand over and over till you got it. I'am ready to prime my fenders but dont becouse I don't have the big time window to wait for it to harden to the point I can work on it if there is a flaw that will show through the paint I can't paint and now all those tiny spaces on the inside of the fender need to be ruffed up before I can pray the OMNI paint. Does anyone have a solution to this problem.
Thanks,Carpenter

I don't know if I understand your question. You have 72 hrs to paint over MP 170, doesn't have to be a topcoat, you can put MP 181 over it, with no prescribed time frame for the 181, you can sand it as needed. If you go to bare metal, you need to touch up with 170 again. Neither 170 or 181 has a long time window before it is hard enough to sand --hours not days (technically 170 is non-sandable). Some people prefer to work with bare metal, some prefer to use the bondo, etc over epoxy. I fill all dents first, then use MP 170, then sandable surfacer to fill the small depressions and sanding scratches. MP 170 is not meant to be used so that you can see flaws. MP 181 and 182 (182 uses hardener) are meant to be block sanded so that defects will show. You can also use a cheap rattle can paint to sand and show defects before you do anything, but you have to sand it all off afterwards, I prefer not to do it that way. Don't know if I answered your question.

Thanks CNKS, Yes I suppose that is the obvious answer. Spray with epoxy and cover with sandable primer so that if it has to sit a week or two before I can continue its all right. Thank-you,
carpenter
