    I'm working on a 40 Hudson coupe and need some help on painting the interior of the car. My plan is to de-rust with OSPHO then paint. I was thinking of going with Rustoleum primer then a color to seal the primer. All this will be behind the interior trim so it won't be seen or exposed to weather. I've heard a lot about not using epoxy primer over OSPHO that's why I'm thinking oil base paint.
    Any thoughts, suggestions

    Thanks
     
  2. sounds like a plan.

    Try Por 15. It works well ive had good luck with it in the past..if you sandblast you should use epoxy or some type of etch prime. Ppg makes a good epoxy primer. The black is dp90 you get a three day window for applying a top coat such as a single stage paint for a interior. I would not use oil base inside my car that's my opinion as a painter. But any help you need let me know..been painting and doing restoration for a long time now..Drew

    Well it was an opinion..might have a strong paint smell for a while. A catalized urathane will not. Just a thought that's all. I painted a frame for a friend of mine with rustoleom that he provided. Long story short I went to His garage a week later and I could still smell the paint and I painted it in my spray booth. I guess I'm just weird about non catalized paint that's all. Drew

    The Rustoleom will work well, but it will smell inside your car for a week or 2 after its painted. I find little difference between Rustoleom paint and Rustoleom primmer other then the amount of shine, and that is of little difference.
    I have found that oil based industrial enamel retains color a little better the Rustoleom does when exposed to the sun and the elements for about the same money. Gene

    PPG DP series epoxy works just fine on top of OSPHO.

    Gentlemen,
    Thanks for your replies. If the smell is the issue, I'm several months or more from cruising in my Hudson, it's just a little further along than the pic. My preference would be epoxy but I'm concerned about not doing a good job with the ospho in the tight spots and it affecting the epoxy. Nobody will ever see this area, except me and I'm my worst critic so I want it as good as I can do it.
    Thanks again
     
  9. Rustoleum works as well inside as it does outside. Lots of good old fashoined red wheels got painted with rustoleum back in the good ol days.

    Twenty years ago I dropped a small drop of DP 40 grey primer on a chromed craftsman wrench. I neglected t wipe it off, it is still there. Rustoleum is not compatiable with other brands of paint.
     
  11. Guess ya don't use that wrench often.:D
     

  12. Well gee I have painted it right over the black on factory wheels and never had a problem with it sticking or bubbling.

    Ya know what they say, ignorance is bliss and I am the blissest Mother on the planet.
