    I’ve used it for 20 years. Thee best and most durable and affordable epoxy out there.

    My buddy used to manufacture bowling alley pedestals and we painted them all with this.

    I than used it on all the metal parts on my commercial boats used in saltwater.

    Doesn’t need a primer as it sticks like glue to metal.

    I used to pay $90 for the 2 gallon pair years ago.

    How much now ?

    Will that stuff fill in minor rust pitting on a frame? How well does it hold up to frame flex?

    Sandblasting is the only way to totally eliminate the rust.

    Zinc Oxide Chromate is a very good binder primer and isolator from corrosion.

    If the part is sandblasted rust free the easypoxy will work just as well as using a primer

    I generally only use zinc oxide chromate on aluminum to promote adhesion and prevent corrosion.

    I usually mix it heavily on the acid side to get it to Bite into the metal for adhesion.

    Yes it is a flexible paint.
