I purchased a can of VHT Gloss Black Epoxy paint which I'm told is a bullet proof repair to the cracked frame paint. Since this is going to be confined to a maximum 1/8" wide by 5" long thin weld between the frame and cross member, I'm wondering if I can spray this in a paint cup and apply by artist brush? This would avoid overspray and since its a weld it would not be noticable if its not glass smooth as long as its black and glossy. Anyone know if an epoxy can be applied like this? I don't care if I waste product as long as I achieve the end goal? Thanks
I am no paint expert but if it not two parts then I don’t believe it is a true epoxy.
You can call anything, anything that you want, kind of like the cups that say "worlds best dad."
But yes to the spraying into a cup and using a brush.
You can also do this with a true epoxy, but when it starts to kick, then you have lost your open time.
