[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 4616, member: 456"] OK Chaps, I finally met up with my chum who is the paint expert and it seems that the required primer is Chromate etching primer. This should be applied to bare metal which has been cleaned as well as possible and this primer should help to get rid of microscopic bits of rust which might have been missed and will also provide a good key for the primer/filler which will need to go on next. On the subject of water under powder coat; I was looking through the specs of some that was used on a rebuild and modernisation of an old telescope (two tons weight and 14 feet long for those who wonder about such things) and I noted that the specification for the powder is 10 minutes at 200ºC. Have a nice day :) [/QUOTE]
