[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 4342, member: 456"] The problem is Mr Boggler, Sir, that there is not just one type of undercoat. eg , acid, acid free, etching, non etching, chromate and so on. I am no expert on this but I do know a club member who is. If I can contact him then I will post what information I can from a reliable source. (He does not work on Vincents for a living and so is bias free.) If I remember correctly then when I started to use two pack acrylic I asked his advice and was told to use a chromate free non etching primer on old tanks where there might be some residual rust after all the rubbing down etc. Always remember that there are people out there wanting to sell you their products who will give you professional advice. The main problem is to find the ones who know what they are talking about and not just trying to sell you what they have in stock. The other note of warning is that there is not just one type of 'two pack'. Acrylic and polyurathene are just two I have used and you can be sure that there will be others. I use acrylic on my bikes and used to use two pack polyurathene on my boat. However, I have found that for my use one pack polyurathene lasts better on boats in the Med. :) [/QUOTE]
