I thinned down some Eastwood black epoxy primer to use as a sealer. My mistake was thinning it down (experimenting and deviating from a known). Unthinned it would have laid on flat, but thinned down it was very textured. I had to spend a day wet sanding it. But, it did make a good sealer coat under my dark base. In hindsight, I wonder if I should have used a tinted 2K urethane primer because the epoxy primer was very difficult to wet sand after I mucked it up. The product data sheet should have the other answers. I'd say one coat is adequate.
it should be the other way around, textured without thinning and flat witht thinning, the thinning should help it lay down nice and smooth, krem
Yeah, I know. I don't know why it ended up textured with the thinner. Maybe I put it on to heavily. I'm sure it was user error.
