You may have difficulty buying SPI products...besides, despite what you'll be told here, on this forum, it's not the cheapest and there's nothing to demonstrate it's worth....it can't be bought on the web and unless there's a local dealer, you won't be able to buy it at all....SPI is a a small company that doesn't distribute to every nook and cranny, as do ther larger, well known companies...baddbob said:There's many economy lines to choose from but you're best bet for quality products at a reasonable price is from SPI, http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/index.
Do a search here for SPI related posts and you'll find some examples of high quality work and many positive comments.
you must have missed adtkarts promotion of SPI...the one that started the responses...not the one "started by esty"kenseth17 said:petty brand fighting started by esty. promote the place they like to order from or only what they use.
82c10, In my opinion for your best bare metal primer use epoxy, SPI ranks up at the top of my list qualitywise and is very economical. I haven't tried Kirker, American, Marhyde, or HOK's epoxy primers so I can't comfortibly recomend these primers. I know SPI's epoxy won't let you down so that's why I recomended it. PPG, Dupont, Akzo Nobel, Transtar, Valspar, and many others also offer epoxy primers so you have many to choose from.82c10 said:i want to take my trucks paint to bare metal, what kind of primer do i need, and where is the cheapest place to get it, also how much $ are we talkin about

the owner and a vocal member here Barry believes he's the big dog....so all the others tend to follow blindly...sniffing the dogs butte, telling people, like you that SPI's the best...if you know what i mean
anyway a good, inexpensive product that's available online try HERE...they sell several popular brands, and if you'll look around, you'll find a line that sells paints. clears and all the best primers for the money
and while you're on that website take a look at the KIRKER brand...it's absolutely the best bang for the buck..if you want a good product for your money, check it out...they carry everything from the primers you'll need to a fullline of paints and clears.....
if you want more objective information and a broad range of suggestions and ideas try these 2 boards, you'll find more varied options, based on experience at either of them....

no, like you, i haven't used them all and unfortunately i can't buy SPI, if i was so inclined to try it...it's not available online...have you used kirker's clear, epoxy or 2k filler?baddbob said:Esty, have you done any testing comparing SPI epoxy to those offered by anyone else? Kirker? American? You might want to wipe the Kirker poop off your nose and give SPI stuff a try for yourself before you slam the product line and accuse it's promotion is being based only on this Forum's membership.
