Greetings...
Over a not small period of time, I dug into the problem of what coatings to apply to my surface grinder and shaper. Benjamin Moore P22 or P06 primer had quite a following in painting various types of industrial equipment. I was ready to go down that path when I was just checking out the data sheets and speaking with the coatings engineers at BM and discovered a 3 week curing time. I can't believe taking an equipment out of service for three weeks for paint to cure is attractive to anyone. The BM engineers don't suggest any hardener or heating to accelerate curing so I'm on the verge of finding a new choice.
Has anyone ever used these coatings and if so, how was your experience returning it to service? Does anyone have a substitute you have used and would endorse?
LONG time ago, my family owned a non-destructive test shop that did coatings in the back and I was stuck being the top technical dude for both. We had coatings engineers from the manufacturers in on a monthly basis because they wanted to ensure their paints kept the Air Force happy, which is actually pretty easy... prep... follow the times and temps... observe all documented application instructions. Poof... perfection. From this, I'm ready to bail on P22 at this point.
