FAQs

Can this be used on flexible plastic bumpers?

This primer is specifically formulated for rigid plastics. It may crack if used on highly flexible or soft-touch plastic components.

Do I need to sand the surface before applying?

Yes, a light sanding with fine-grit paper will significantly improve the mechanical adhesion of the primer to the substrate.

How many coats should I apply?

Two light, even coats are generally sufficient to provide a solid base and excellent adhesion for the topcoat.

Is this primer compatible with all topcoat paints?

It is compatible with most standard automotive and decorative topcoats, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

How long does it take to dry?

Dry times vary by humidity and temperature, but the surface is typically touch-dry in 15-30 minutes and ready for topcoating within an hour.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is sputtering or clogging

Invert the can and spray for 3-5 seconds to clear the valve. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent or replace it.

Paint is running or sagging

You are holding the can too close to the surface or applying the paint too heavily. Move the can further back and use lighter, overlapping passes.

Primer is not sticking to the plastic

The surface likely contains mold release agents or wax. Thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser and lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper before reapplying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion to rigid plastics and metals
  • Professional-style fan nozzle provides even coverage
  • High covering power reduces the number of coats needed
  • Acrylic formula is resistant to drips and runs
  • Generous 500ml volume for larger projects

Cons

  • Requires proper ventilation during use
  • Limited to rigid plastics; may not perform well on flexible surfaces
  • White color may show through thin topcoats if not fully covered

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, or silicones. Sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to improve mechanical bonding. Always shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.

Compatibility: This primer is designed for rigid plastics and metals. It is not recommended for highly flexible, soft-touch plastics.

Care: After painting, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents the acrylic residue from clogging the tip between uses. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
