Hi Guys,
I've sandblasted, and etch primed my Brake and clutch pedal arms (single pack with 10% thinners). Can I now paint my 2K top coat or do I have to apply a 2K undercoat first?
Cheers

Can't paint 2k over acrylic. Return to start.

Thanks for the response guys.
I beg to differ, now I'm no expert but what I've been told by the paint stores is
Etch primer (one part) over bare metal, then 2K undercoat/hi-fill with finally the 2k top coat. That would be for the exterior panels.
Because these are just pedals I was hoping the 2K undercoat could be missed out. I want a 2K finish on these because they take a bit of wear from use and presume this would give a harder longer lasting result.

Wow internet forums are so good for advice arnt they.....
Yes you can put your 2k over the top.
Yes you should have used a 2k epoxy, but its not really going to matter.
Also, i dissagree with your paint shop.....PUtting down a 1k etch then 2k over the top is kinda like painting over grease......
Cheers.

I was hoping you would advise Bomber. Grease........ that sounds a bit drastic, I gather your exaggerating a bit there. :-)
I will check-out the 2K epoxy next time I'm at the store.
Thanks again

I was trying to keep the question simple but I'm actually painting a few other bits and pieces and so while the gun is out why not paint the pedals?
