Best Answer

On raw fibreglass, epoxy primer is necessary. On gelcoat, polyurathane paint sticks well, provided the surface is well sanded and cleaned with acetone, but pinholes and cratering can be a problem, so where a high standard is required, priming the gelcoat with epoxy is recommended.

Do you need a special paint for corrugated steel?

Paint? No. Primer? YES. Corrugated steel is galvanized so you will need an etching galvanized metal primer. Regular paint or primer will peel off in no time! The etching primer as you can guess by the name actually reacts with the steel for a better bond. The steel should be sandblasted beforehand, or al least pressure washed thoroughly. The paint will adhere to the primer. Go to any real paint store (not a big box store with a paint department), let them know what you want to do and they will be glad to help and answer any questions.

Can your mix latex paint with its own tinted primer together and apply as one coat?

It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.


Can you paint over a latex high gloss paint with latex primer without sanding first?

You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint. Just read the label on your primer can to make sure it is compatible. On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.

Will the paint and primer together paint over masonite paneling?

I find your meaning a bit difficult to understand. -You don't paint and prime together. -The primer must be applied first and become totally dry before painting is carried out. If you're concerned about covering ability, use a good thick primer like Kilz. It will completely hide anything. If the masonite is pre-primed, then a paint and primer in one will work fine. If it is bare, then you need to treat it like wood and either give it two coats of the paint and primer in one, or better, give it a coat of primer, then paint.
