Yesterday, That's ppg cre epoxy primer, it's tintable, I wouldn't call it color matched though, just close. I spoke with the ppg tech rep, he said the high end shops aren't using high build poly primer, just lots of this stuff to build and block... It's pricy, but, according to him there's hardly any shrinkage. I didn't even know blocking epoxy was a thing! I paint aircraft almost every day... it's been years since I've shot bare steel... much less acres of it.
I used the one choice metal prep system a while back, for 2 reasons, one to protect it from any atmospheric rust causing moisture until I could set aside a full day to get it into primer... Second because I wanted to convert any no-see-em teeny rust. It's been about 2 months from the time of treetment.
The ppg tech rep said the sx treatment and conditioner are meant to be shot within a short time frame, so I needed to sand it before priming. That was yesterday, 6:30 am to 5 pm... long day.
A seriously long day.... probably why it took so long to get to this point, mainly because, once you start, you* can't stop until it's all sealed up. Any way, yesterday was the first full day I could devote to it in a while, and that didn't include commute time. Now I'm free to chase dings and block at will daily, (search & destroy) I estimate 2 weeks to paint.
Any way, lots of good music.*

What a great day... just long.*
