After weeks and countless hours of reading these boards I feel that I have a better understanding of what I am trying to accomplish. I've heard of people doing an MEK test on parts that they've had powder coated. Initially I did not understand the reason for the MEK test but now I understand.
Here is my question:
My project just acquired was sitting for many years. The green coating on the frame (zinc chromate I think) has some areas of light rust. My project won't see any covering for about a year. I want to spray (rattle can) a 2K epoxy primer to preserve and prevent any more rust from forming.
This morning I called the shop that plans to cover (subject to change) and he said so long as it is a 2K I won't have any problems, no top coat needed. So my question is, should I still do an MEK test? I haven't decided if I should use the Rustoleum or the Eastwood 2K product. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.
