SPI Epoxy and Polar Accelerator

E

I have a 2000 F150 to work on that has a few blisters on the bottom of the doors. Normally I have plenty of time to work on this kind of job but I would like to complete this in one day. Can I use Polar Acc. to speed up the epoxy primer so I can color and clear?
 
don't use accelerator in epoxy, it's different chemistry than a 2k urethane

Thanks Bob. Is there another DTM primer I can use to complete this in one day, barring any unforeseen circumstances?
 
Not any one that we could recommend. You'd have to use some acid etch primer, perhaps from the maker of whatever basecoat you are using.

Repairing, priming, and painting in one day is never recommended. Even with high dollar curing equipment, such a technique is begging for trouble, shrinkage and loss of gloss in particular.

I appreciate the advice from you guys. I wasn't sure if this was possible in one day, I guess not. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
 
I do one day repair and paint a lot but I use Sherwin Williams p30 primer, but that is collision repair not restoration. Sherwin Williams has a 45 min prime to clear system that works pretty good but it does get really hard quickly, for a fender or door it works pretty good but its kinda pricey. I'm not saying its the best way but its done everyday around here and if you learn how to use it for repair work its actually pretty good.
