FAQs
Can I use this over bare metal?
While it offers good adhesion, it is best practice to apply an etch primer or epoxy primer to bare metal first for maximum corrosion protection.
How long should I wait before sanding?
While it is tack-free in 20 minutes, it is best to wait at least 1-2 hours for the product to fully cure and shrink before sanding.
Is this a filler primer or a sanding primer?
It acts as both; it has high-build properties for filling imperfections and is designed to be easily sanded to a smooth finish.
What is the shelf life of these cans?
When stored in a cool, dry environment, these cans typically remain effective for up to two years.
Does this require a clear coat?
Yes, this is a primer only. It must be topcoated with a suitable automotive paint system to protect it from UV and moisture.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle clogging or uneven spray pattern
Remove the nozzle and soak it in thinners, or replace it if the clog persists. Always invert the can to clear the dip tube after use.
Primer runs or sags on the panel
You are likely holding the can too close to the surface or moving too slowly. Increase your distance and maintain a consistent speed.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Ensure the surface was sanded sufficiently (using 400-600 grit) and thoroughly degreased before applying the first coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure the target area is completely clean, dry, and free of oil, wax, or silicone using a grease remover before application.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard automotive topcoats, though a test patch is recommended if working with specialized paint systems.
Application: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Maintain a distance of 15-20cm from the surface.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is replaced after use to prevent nozzle clogging.
Cleanup: Invert the can and spray for a few seconds after use to clear the nozzle and prevent future blockages.
