PPG DP50 prijmer question

4274 Views 12 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  SWITCHCRAFT
I have 2 gallons of PPG DP50 primer but PPG discontinued it now so now I can't buy a hardner for it

If anyone has used this before what other catalysts could I use with it?

I'm sure someone on here has used a different cataylst with it.

thanks for the help I have never used this DP50 before but heard good things about it

It's an epoxy,had it's own hardener,bad-ass product wished they still sold it.

It's an epoxy with it's own hardener,don't recall being able to use other catalysts.
that's what I was afraid of I do not want to throw it away maybe some day I'll experiment with it but back in the day this stuff was awesome.....

Nothing compared IMO,you could use filler over top of it,prime over top of it,or use as a sealer,and it stayed"open"for 7 days.
yes I know I wish the new stuff was as good as the old stuff......ahhhh give me the old stuff that's bad for you anyday:)
contact ppg and see what they say :dunno: Something has to be compatible with it

Get ahold of Matrix,they may have a catalyst that will crosslink with it.The guy that started that company use to be a chemist for PPG.

called PPG and the lady told me there's nothing that will work with it
just called matrix and they said MAV-420 catalyst would work but he said the primer might not be any good because it's old.... The cans have never been opened though...

Junk it,even though that haven't been opened the solids will settle like sediment and when shaken all you will end up with is some cottage cheese look in shit.

Nah,I've had dp sealer kicking around for years,threw it on the shaker for a few minutes,and it was good to go.
i would think if its sealed should be fine. do a test panel then scratch test leave it outside for a while, top it with some paint see what it does.... ive used old primer on some shitters before never had a problem....
x2, stir it good, put it on a shaker and go for it.
thanks guys I'm hoping it will be ok....
