Bare metal prep?
Never done anything "real" with paint prep, what do you all suggest for preping bare metal? Self etch?epoxy? Specifically my SGT braces...
I have some variprime 615s and 616s(activator) that was given to me. Is this the right stuff to use? How about for the aluminum rear? I want, and am willing, to do this right.

I would make sure it's clean of oil, dirt , moisture and rust. I wipe or spray down bare metal with acetone. I would stick to epoxy primer. It's very good primer. Works on steel or aluminum. Here's what I use at work.

Duponts Variprime is a very good product and will work for what your doing. It works on bare metal and aluminum.
Make sure you use a proper respirator when spraying just like all paint. Your health is very important!! Randy

Also, you can paint right over variprime, I like to use it like a sealer over what I am painting.
It should have directions on the can on how much time to wait before putting on your color. I painted a fleet of concrete trucks one time with variprime and Imron. It would take a full 8 hours of painting to do one truck! Randy

Thanks for the suggestions, I ended up using Eastwood Chassis Black and associated primer. I have used it many times before with exceptional results, not sure how/why I didn't think of that before. I'll post some pics in my SGT thread later today of how they turned out. I think I'll save the Variprime for this winter when I redo the sheet metal for the 2182.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
