Question
Robert Pac –
Hi, I have an old-school, fiberglass Volkswagen dune buggy. I was thinking about spraying the body with this. What are your thoughts?
(0) (0)
Answer
Seymour Paint –
If there is existing paint on the body, then I would recommend scuffing it up with 400 grit to improve adhesion. If no paint, then scuff and apply the PBE sandable primer (#20-1671) before top coating. The Spruce brand would work well as the finish coat. Remember to keep a wet edge when spraying so you don’t have areas where dry spray dulls the look.

Ryan Burris –
Can 316 be painted over with an epoxy paint
(0) (0)
Answer
Seymour Paint –
It could be paint over the 16-54 Stainless Steel however, the Stainless Steel is not going to provide the any added protection because it uses Stainless Steel flakes. Would be better off using our 620-1431 MRO Gray Primer under the Epoxy than the Stainless Steel.
(0) (0)
Question
Atkinson –
Can you use this for engine block paint ?
(0) (0)
Answer
Seymour Paint –
You could paint their engine block with 16-54 Stainless Steel but this coating is not going to be gas and oil resistant. The other issue is that the engine block down by the manifolds is going to get hotter than the heat resistance of the coating itself.
