doing some painting on panel. has some minor imperfections so am going to use a shopline 2 k primer. on the tech sheet you have a mixing choice for * high build applications and as a spray filler.
high build says: 4:1:1
spray filler says 4:1
looks like as a spray filler you use no reducer. i want to put this on thick so do i use it as the spray filler? thanks jason

Thick would be the spray filler 4:1. If you use reducer it will spray out thinner as in the high build 4:1:1. Normal primer is sprayed either way depending on how much you want to fill and sand.

If you want it to have a high build then dont do the reducer. But it will take longer to dry in sure. Im no expert but id say your thinking right!

Also if you can mix that primer as a sealer, do that on the last coat before paint!

You are correct. I've used shopline before and have no complaints. I got turned onto Montana Big Sky and use them now. The beauty of their product is the mix ratio is 1:1 so you get two gallons with a kit. It's the same with the epoxy and is cheaper than PPG and RM.

I normally always use the reducer when it's allowed mainly because I'm a cheap ass with a ton of reducer lying around. ;D
