Re: PRIMER COLOR
Phil - correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the red oxide in the ELPO tanks "aged"...in other words, the color got darker the older the material was in the tank. Whenever they added new primer to the ELPO tank, it would lighten again, but slowly age darker. The amount of color change through the variations was likely very slight. For my purposes, I use SPI's epoxy and add 8% by weight black to their red oxide and 5% flattening agent. I tried several spray outs and this combo matches an inner upper cowl section from a 70 Norwood car that was never exposed to sunlight. I the pics below, the forward and upper cowl have flattened completely...the inner section pic was taken not long after shooting the epoxy and will flatten further.
