Epoxy Mastic Paints.... sticky in all the right places?
Discussion
Hello,
Been reading a lot about rustproofings. For the main coat I'm considering some of this epoxy mastic stuff.. seems to tick all the right boxes and be getting very good reviews. Can anyone testify to its stickyness for different surfaces? The reason I ask is that at this time I'm doing a body-on treatment so removal of all current coverings from all areas is not viable. Therefore I am hoping this stuff will be suitably sticky for bare metal, treated rust (sanded Rust Remedy'd areas) and sanded sound paint/original powder coated areas.
Naturally you are told the ideal application is to some ISO-standard prepared metal. But I haven't read anything to suggest it won't stick well elsewhere. Any input appreciated.
Also anyone who's used it, what volume do I need for outriggers and suspension parts only?
Ta!

I did mine using EMP and it sticks to clean metal, pitted metal, original powder coat no problems. This was confirmed by the suppliers before I bought it as well.
Takes about 24hrs to dry and resist rough handling (ie. hit with a hammer!), then a further 14 days to fully cure.
The 1ltr kit did 2 coats of my front wishbones plus outriggers with maybe enough left to do the rear suspension when I get time.
I then used Dinitrol 4941 over the top, mainly to squirt into the corner plates etc that cannot be got to without a body off.
