FAQs
Can I use this on plastic parts?
This primer is primarily designed for metal surfaces. Always check for specific adhesion promoter requirements if applying to bare plastic.
Does this primer need to be sanded?
Yes, for a show-quality finish, wet or dry sanding with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended once the primer has fully cured.
How long should I wait before painting over it?
Drying times vary based on temperature and humidity, but generally wait at least 30-60 minutes before light sanding or overcoating.
Is this a filler primer or a sanding primer?
It is a high-build primer-filler, meaning it serves both purposes of filling surface imperfections and providing a base for sanding.
What is the shelf life of this product?
If stored correctly in a cool, dry environment, the product should remain effective for up to two years.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle clogging or uneven spray pattern
Remove the nozzle and soak it in paint thinner, or replace it if damaged.
Primer runs or sags on the surface
Reduce the thickness of each coat and ensure you are not spraying too close to the surface.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, or rust. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball rattles. Apply in light, sweeping motions from a distance of 15-20cm, allowing for sufficient flash-off time between coats to prevent sagging. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent the nozzle from clogging, invert the can after use and spray for a few seconds until clear gas is released.
