FAQs
Can I use this primer over bare metal?
Yes, it is designed to provide excellent corrosion protection directly on bare metal, including aluminum and zinced surfaces.
Do I need to sand the primer before applying the topcoat?
Yes, to achieve a professional finish, you should sand the primer once dry to ensure a smooth, level base for your topcoat.
Is this primer compatible with all topcoats?
It is compatible with most standard automotive paint systems, but it is always recommended to perform a test application on a small area.
How long should I wait before sanding?
Drying time depends on ambient temperature and humidity. Always touch-test in an inconspicuous area or wait at least 30-60 minutes before sanding.
Can I use this for large car body repairs?
While effective, this 400ml aerosol is better suited for spot repairs, trim, or small components rather than full vehicle resprays.
Troubleshooting
Primer is running or dripping during application
Apply thinner, lighter coats instead of one heavy pass, keeping the nozzle 15-20cm from the surface.
Poor adhesion to the metal surface
Ensure the metal was properly degreased and sanded to create a profile before application.
Nozzle clogging
Turn the can upside down after use and spray until only clear propellant comes out to clear the feed tube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Before spraying, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or silicone. Sand existing paintwork to provide a mechanical key for the primer to bond.
Compatibility: This product is specifically formulated for use on aluminum, zinced steel, and intact original finishes. Always perform a test spray on a hidden area to verify adhesion if you are unsure of the existing substrate material.
Application Environment: Always work in a well-ventilated area. Use respiratory protection, gloves, and eye protection. Shake the can thoroughly for at least two minutes before use to ensure the contents are properly mixed. Store the can in a cool, dry place and keep it away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
