Moss Europeย has delivered our brand new engine mounts in preparation for the engine refit which will commence early February.
Our 1977 MGBGT engine is now cleaned and painted and ready for refit.
The engine bay was originally black from the factory but over years has started to show signs of wear so with the engine out we have cleaned up and refinished the engine bay.
We are now starting to prepare our racing E-Type running gear ready to put her back on her wheels.
Pete and Gordon are currently on their way to Stuart and the guys at Agriblastย in Stanton to collect various parts as well as deliver our racing E-Type parts for blasting.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Epoxy primer is used to seal a non-porous finish. It is recommended as the first base coat over any bare steel like on our 1961 Jaguar XK150. These base coats or epoxy primers can be used over fiberglass, plastic or the black iron phosphate coating.
This primer can also be used on cracks and dents. Its bonding capacity is excellent and produces a good surface finish. Epoxy primers not only offer excellent adhesion to metals, but also serve as a proper base for extra undercoat products, top coats and paint.
A two-part epoxy primer contains zinc phosphate, which acts as corrosion-inhibiting pigment. Epoxy primers can be used to waterproof materials that consequently protect the bare metal from oxidation. A dry, very clean surface is needed before applying epoxy primer. Two-part epoxy primer needs to be mixed thoroughly before applying.
Since paints in theย automobile and marine industries are very important for resisting corrosion (rusting), epoxy coatings are widely used as primers to improve the adhesion of the metal surface.ย Epoxy primers are also used in structural steel coatings for high-build thickness with the application of only one or two coats.
A two-part epoxy primer is known as structural steel primer. It needs two components that are cured chemically through cross-linking. This two-part epoxy primer produces a film that is resistant to abrasion, chemicals and moisture. It is very suitable for use on properly prepared steel and concrete. This primer is also recommended for power plants, marine applications, water treatment plants and tank exteriors.
Further advantages of this primer include:

They are great for building up and levelling areas or surfaces.
They provide aย smooth surface for paint and they are great for adhesionย as they provide a strong bond between the sheet metal or old paint and the new paint. Primers are rust resistance so they resist the formation of rust where they adhere to the sheet metal. They are able to fill sanding and grinding marks in old paint, sheet metal and fillers and can be sanded smooth or levelled quickly and easily. They act as a protective barrier toย prevent the paint from soaking in and a good high-build primer should be ready to sand in as little as 30 minutes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”25514,25515,25516,25517,25518,25519,25520,25521″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
