Hey friends, I've got a "what would you do" question here. I've got just a tad under a gallon of SPI Reg 2K primer that is dated 1 2020. It's Activator is 3 2020. At the advice of members here regarding how activators go bad, I ordered another quart of activator at the beginning of 2023. In fact, it's been in the house, unboxed since I received it. Bummer is, it's not the regular build activator, it's the high build. CRAP.....I could have sworn I ordered regular build, but I did not check it when it came in. Figures, just my luck!!!
Anyway, I have Reg build primer from 2020 and High Build activator from 1/2023. Reading the forums here, I'm finding people who are complaining about the regular build and liking the high build or something else. Not sure which way I want to go now and some of this has to do with $$$. As is, I need to order another Gallon of epoxy and more activator. Just looked at the price and.... ouch!!!
So, would you keep the reg build and just order its activator or would you order the high build and use the high build activator dated 1/2023? Or, would you just start over with one or the other...both 2K and activator?
Lastly, and this is also a factor, how much 2k primer to paint a Mustang? And, am I correct that most apply three coats initially before block sanding?
Thanks!
