Product Information
Full details
The U-Pol HIGH5 1K High Build Primer is designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts looking to perform professional-grade spot and smart repairs. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-build performance and ease of use, delivering a quality finish comparable to professional spray guns without the need for complex equipment. While it provides excellent surface preparation, users should note that as a 1K product, it is best suited for localized repairs rather than full-body restoration projects.

FAQs
Is this primer compatible with all topcoats?
It is compatible with most standard automotive basecoats and topcoats, but it is always recommended to test on a small area first.
How long should I wait before sanding?
Drying time varies by humidity and temperature, but typically it can be sanded within 30-60 minutes.
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, provided the surface has been properly cleaned and prepared with an appropriate plastic adhesion promoter.
Does this require a clear coat?
Yes, this is a primer designed to be a base layer; it must be covered by a topcoat or paint to protect it from the elements.
Can I apply this directly to bare metal?
It is recommended to use an etch primer or an epoxy primer first on bare metal for optimal corrosion protection before using the high build primer.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle clogging
Remove the nozzle and clean it with thinners, or flip the can and spray briefly to clear the dip tube.
Primer running or sagging
The application was too heavy; apply thinner coats from a slightly greater distance.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the surface was adequately sanded and free from wax, grease, or silicone before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and sanded before application. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Hold the can approximately 15-20cm from the surface and apply in light, even strokes. To care for the product, always clear the nozzle after use by turning the can upside down and spraying until the propellant runs clear. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the paint formulation.
