I use zinc spray, I couldn't spot the differences. But i have heard you guys don't have that in the US.

We have zinc rich primers, but it does seem like this is a conversation revisited from not long ago.

Lot of grumpy people here???? If this site wasn't so hard to navigate....I would have looked elsewhere...Maybe point me in the right direction? Instead of Jabberwoky?

NO! I am glad to help you back.  My native language ain't English so i don't always understand what gets said on this forum like a native.

@johnnymag3 Looks like you have a chip on your shoulder.  You ask a question and you get answers...if they are not the answers you are looking for then go to the next post.  I think the only attitude here is yours.  Think about it and knock it off.

[johnnymag3 2,520]

Thank you...............no worries about anything....Several people here are incredibly smart...way beyond us mortals

I have no problem....and I think maybe people should not be so harsh, because I revisit something I had no idea was even spoken about...sorry

...Thanks Steve

Was i harsh?  and revisiting something happens all the time, So many topics got started, off course there are some doubles. And a question as which paint you use? can very from time to time as people experience or come across certain things. So i gave you what i personally use.

You were not harsh...and never have been...Sorry for the confusion Maxwell...You are always a big help, and offer good advice. 

[stevasaurus 22,740]

No problem.  Almost everything about Wheel Horses has been talked about here before.  You know that.  I don't think anybody was being harsh.  You need to realize that almost every question has been asked before.  There is nothing wrong with asking it again...sometimes technology changes, sometimes somebody has a different idea, sometimes you can get pointed to an old thread that has good information.  That is why this site works.  Being respectful to anybody that answers you is a good thing.  OK???

   What you did is the kind of stuff that happens on other sites...not this one...completely out of line there John.  

[DennisThornton 4,769]

I fear I was misunderstood!

My near 70 year old brain thought it remembered being involved in a conversation about zinc primers not too long ago and my comment was more about my memory and not about it being brought up again!  If my comment was a source of any of this I certainly meant no ill to anyone and I apologize if I was misunderstood! 

[johnnymag3 2,520]

Dennis...Its all good,     

    When you told me it was already spoken about, I felt insulted.....That stuff happens on other sites. I do apoligize, and I dont feel I was out of line and hope others see this also. I was hoping to get pointed to the actual link insted of what the response was....Sorry to all who were offended, or thought they were.I wasn't raised to chastize people, I was raised to help, and nurish others who need knowledge, and point them in the right direction.

 

Regards, John

[stevasaurus 22,740]

It's all good John.    Thanks

[stevasaurus 22,740]

OK...do you have the information you wanted??

Again, so sorry if I was misunderstood. 

My comment was for the post right above mine and not yours at all.  I was trying to remember, thought about searching but at the time I couldn't remember enough to do a decent search.   Didn't mean to step on anyone's toes!

[johnnymag3 2,520]

I do have enough info....and even a little bit more....Thanks Everyone for the input

I often have questions about things that have been discussed before. Speaking for myself its my computer skills, or lack of, which is the problem...

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Took me a bit and this is why my comment was below Maxwell-8's comment, it was really meant for him!  I should have quoted him to be more clear and hopefully not misunderstood. 

No intent other than to help.
