Sandblasted inside... What to prime with?
Hi, I just sandblasted the whole inside of my 65 stang... new floors and everything. I was wondering if anyone knows the best thing to prime/paint it with. I was thinking of using redoxide primer but wanted some input since it took so long to do.... I dont want to make a mistake now. THANKS

Any epoxy primer should do fine just make sure you clean the surface well. I stripped my 68 to bare metal and primed it with kirker epoxy primer. It was only around $90 for 2 sprayable gallons and I was very happy with it.

Just because it is an epoxy primer does not mean it is a "direct to metal" (DTM) epoxy primer. Most automotive epoxy primers are DTM, but be sure. DTM primers have additives to etch for bonding and also have corrosion inhibiting additives. Bottom line - You need to make sure the primer is rated for DTM use.

thanks for the advice... I feel that painting it with a brush gets in the cracks better... should I do that or will spraying be just as good? Also, do they sell DTM epoxy primer at autozone or advance? Or where should I go to get it.
