I am getting ready to spray Imron with a tubrine operated HVLP gun, as
opposed to a conversion gun which operates with an air compressor.

I know that are some real painting experts in this group so I hope one
of them will take the time to give me a little help with the following
questions:

1. Will a turbine HVLP gun atomize sufficiently to give me good
results?


It should (I use one sometimes) but be warned that the turbine will heat the air
and you should run the hose through ice water to cool it down.

2. I have some Interlux primer made for their Perfection lineau
polyruethane and wonder if I could use that as a primer or do I have
to use a two-part epoxy primer?


Better check your facts... The only primer Interlux has for their Perfection
LPU *IS* a 2 part epoxy primer (Interlux 404). Perhaps you have some of their
old line 2100/2101 (also a 2 part). If you do, it will be more than 3 years
old... Unfortunately they dropped that from the product line 3 - 4 years ago
as it was much easier to sand than is 404. If the cans have been previously
opened I wouldn't chance using it.

3. As I do this I need to paint a piece of aluminum that has become
pitted. Would West System mixed with their aluminum dust be a good
filler for pitting in the aluminum and could I also use the Interlux
primer under the Imron. Of course, I would etch the alum prior to
application of the primer.

Thanks for your help.
