Sherwin Williams CARC 383 green Moisture Cure

[Iansstud]

I stopped into SW industrial coatings, I picked up a gal of carc 383 green and all they had was type III moisture cure.

Im going to be painting my f350 pickup (it's a beater truck) and have taken the top coat off with some 220grit.

I'm wondering if I need a primer? Or will shooting it over the base coat work?

Also the truck is a short box / reg cab. Will 1 gal be enough for 2-3 coats?


Thanks!

I painted a 1992 F-250 long bed super cab a few years ago, 1 gal was just enough paint, but I was using auto paint thinned to one gal total.

I would use a good epoxy primer, I got mine from Sherwin Williams. It was a desert tan.
As for the CARC, 1 gallon should be more than enough, I have never applied more than 1 coat.

Have you guys ever done the carc III moisture cure? The SW guy said Not to thin it... This seams odd to me!

 

[drgreg]

Is that the Two Part, A/B?

 

[drgreg]

I think the Type 2 is the two part, type 3 is single component.
I have only used the Type 2, it can be thinned with distilled water up to 5 or 10%. I guess I'd read the specifications and directions.

Says you need primer and nothing about thinning. This stuff i quite different than the Type 2, that I have used.

If you ruff up that surface enough it will stick but ive also seen cars rust through the carc!! I would prime the whole thing if its a daily driver!!!

Ps its also a requirement to have a proper location bellow your avatar!!!

You will need a shaker type mixer, cause once opened it will start to cure. I would have some other stuff ready to paint, to use up any leftovers. This stuff will probably turn to snot-in a-can, after a few days. The type 2 did, after it was mixed.

Primer is for bare metal and filler/ bondo . clean it with degreaser and paint it .

Just curious, what is CARC going for these days?

I don't know the current prices, it's not cheap per gallon. If you use it, you need to look at the cost per job because it only takes 1 coat.

It says right on the mil spec sheet you need to thin it and what to use. I use the SW CARC all the time and use Polane reducer and yes 1 gallon will be more then enough, just make sure it is very well scuffed first. Sand it 2 or 3 times and use a coarse scotch bright pad also a few time to be sure and no primer is needed if it is over a base coat. If bare metal, a Aliphatic urethane primer will be needed.

I just bought 2 gals with Hardner it was $280.00 out the door with my account discount!!

Anyone have experience with the CARC tan? I want to paint my M925A2 with a shelter all the same color. How much will be needed for that and Sherwin Williams part #'s would be good too.
