Full details
General Genflex 1K Plastic Primer is an essential solution for automotive body shops and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve professional adhesion on vehicle plastics. This single-component, ready-to-spray primer is specifically engineered for raw plastic bumpers and factory-finished automotive plastics, ensuring that subsequent basecoats and clearcoats bond effectively. While it provides excellent coverage and convenience, it is important to note that it is designed primarily for plastic substrates and may require different surface preparation techniques compared to metal primers.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?
This product is specifically formulated for plastic; for metal, a dedicated automotive metal primer is recommended.
What is the best way to clean the surface before priming?

Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion to the plastic surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned of mold release agents and adequately scuffed before priming.

Check spray gun air pressure and ensure the nozzle is clean; reduce speed of application if the primer is drying too fast.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by thoroughly cleaning the plastic surface with a wax and grease remover to eliminate any mold release agents. Lightly abrade the surface with a fine-grit abrasive pad before application. The primer is ready to spray as supplied, so ensure your spray equipment is clean and calibrated for a fine mist application. After painting, store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is sealed tightly to prevent evaporation or skinning of the product. Always use in a well-ventilated area or a spray booth equipped with proper respiratory protection.
