Product Information

Full details

The U-Pol HIGH5 1K High Build Primer is designed for automotive enthusiasts and professional technicians who need a reliable, ready-to-use solution for spot repairs and surface preparation. It delivers exceptional filling properties and a smooth, professional-grade finish that mimics traditional spray gun applications without the need for complex mixing equipment. A key caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly effective for touch-ups, it is specifically formulated as an aerosol for smaller repair areas rather than full-body paint jobs.

FAQs

Can I use this primer on plastic bumpers?

Yes, but ensure you use an appropriate adhesion promoter first if the plastic is bare and untreated.

How long should I wait before sanding?

While it is fast-drying, it is recommended to wait at least 30-60 minutes depending on ambient temperature and humidity before sanding.

Does this require a clear coat?

Yes, this is a primer base. It must be covered with an automotive topcoat or clear coat for UV protection and durability.

Is this primer compatible with 2K paints?

Yes, this primer provides a stable base for most 2K topcoats, but always test on a scrap piece first.

Can I use this for large panels?

It is intended for spot and smart repairs. For large body panels, professional equipment is typically recommended to ensure uniform thickness.

What is the recommended spray distance?

Hold the aerosol can approximately 15 to 20 centimeters from the surface for the best atomization and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is clogged or sputtering

Remove the nozzle and clean it with a solvent, or replace it if necessary. Always clear the nozzle after use.

Primer surface is rough or grainy

Ensure you are holding the can at the recommended distance (usually 15-20cm) and check that the surface was properly cleaned and degreased.

Poor adhesion or flaking

Ensure the surface was sanded sufficiently to provide a 'tooth' for the primer to grip, and verify that all contaminants were removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No mixing or equipment cleaning required
  • Excellent filling capabilities for surface scratches
  • Fast drying time increases productivity
  • Easy to sand for a professional smooth finish
  • Reliable, consistent spray pattern

Cons

  • Not suitable for full vehicle painting
  • Requires proper ventilation due to aerosol fumes
  • Limited to one color shade (Grey)
  • Shelf life can be affected by improper storage temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before spraying, ensure the can is at room temperature and shake vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle. This ensures the primer is properly mixed and will spray consistently.

Compatibility: This primer is compatible with most standard automotive topcoats. Always perform a test spray on a scrap piece of metal to ensure compatibility with your specific paint system before applying to the vehicle.

Care: Store the aerosol in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent the nozzle from clogging, turn the can upside down after use and spray for a few seconds until the discharge is clear of paint.
