I have a couple of general questions for those here I was hoping you guys could help answer. I am planning to use the epoxy primer (already bought the gallon size duo) on my '02 Jeep TJ's frame for helping prevent rusting. I realize most folks here are perfectionists who are restoring vehicles and such. This isn't like that in that I don't really care about looks of the paint job. It is an 18yo Jeep used for adventures and offroading, so the body has some trail love already. I am looking to keep a good condition frame from rotting like so many others here in Ontario (this jeep came from the west coast a few years back which is why it is still clean).
My questions:
How important is using the Waterborne W&G Remover on the frame before the epoxy? TBH, I am really hoping to get away with not using it and just taking a flap disc with my angle grinder to the frame to get it a quick clean-up first. I bought the Epoxy Primer and had to pay $100 flat rate shipping. Then I read the instructions and it says to use the remover. I don't mind paying the $52 for the can but not another $100 shipping. That is way too much.
I am planning to brush it on, which I read seems OK if you aren't looking for finish work. Spraying is a non-starter for numerous practical reasons. Looks don't really matter in this case.
If I were to use the WG remover, would it reverse my efforst of using Eastwood Internal Frame protector? I already sprayed two coats of (one KDS, one Eastwood) internal frame stuff which was expensive. I'd rather not get remover inside the frame that reverses this effort. If remover is a *must* I guess I could tape up all the frame holes first.
I want to 'do it right' in the sense that I want the protection to last years at minimum, but also trying to keep the cost reasonable.
