FAQs

What type of surfaces can I use this primer on?

This primer is suitable for a wide range of automotive surfaces, including bare metal, existing paintwork, fiberglass, and most rigid plastics.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity, but it is designed to be quick-drying, typically touch-dry within minutes and ready for recoating within a short period.

Can I use this primer on flexible plastic parts?

While it adheres well to rigid plastics, for highly flexible plastic parts, it is advisable to use a primer specifically formulated for flexible surfaces to prevent cracking.

Do I need to apply a topcoat after using this primer?

Yes, this product is a primer and is intended to be overcoated with your chosen topcoat or lacquer for the final finish and protection.

Is this primer suitable for exterior automotive bodywork?

Yes, it is specifically designed for automotive bodywork and offers UV resistance for exterior applications.

How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?

After you have finished spraying, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear any paint from the nozzle, preventing it from clogging.

What is the container volume?

The container volume is 400ml.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by inverting and spraying briefly after use. If the problem persists, try a new can.

Primer not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly abrading the surface can also improve adhesion.

Runs or drips appearing on the surface

Application was likely too heavy or too close to the surface. Apply in lighter, more even coats and allow sufficient drying time between applications.

Poor coverage

Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Ensure you are holding the can at the recommended distance and moving it consistently.
