Do I need to sand the surface before applying the primer?

Yes, lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. Ensure the surface is clean before application.

How much coverage can I expect from one can?

The Hycote primer provides coverage similar to a 300ml can of spray paint.

It is compatible with various topcoats, including acrylic and enamel paints, but it's always recommended to check the topcoat manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility.

How should I store the primer?

Troubleshooting

Runs or drips during application

Apply thinner coats and ensure the can is held at the correct distance from the surface.
