Product Information
Full details
The Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black Primer is designed for automotive restorers and custom car builders who need a reliable, epoxy-fortified foundation for vehicle underbodies and suspension components. Its primary benefit is superior chip resistance and exceptional adhesion to bare or stripped metal, creating a durable barrier against rust and environmental wear. However, users should note that this is a primer base and requires a compatible topcoat to achieve the final desired aesthetic and long-term finish for high-stress automotive parts.

FAQs
Does this primer need to be sanded before topcoating?
It is generally recommended to check the product data for the topcoat you intend to use; usually, a light scuffing can improve adhesion if the primer has fully cured.
Can I use this on non-automotive metal parts?
While designed for automotive chassis and suspension, it is a high-performance primer that can be used on various metal projects requiring rust protection.
Is this a self-etching primer?
This is an epoxy-fortified primer designed for strong adhesion and chip resistance on bare metal.
How many coats should I apply?
For best protection, apply two to three light, even coats, allowing for the recommended flash time between each coat.
Is this primer heat resistant?
It is designed for standard suspension and chassis environments, but it is not intended for high-heat areas like exhaust manifolds.
Troubleshooting
The nozzle is clogged or not spraying evenly
Clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear, or soak the nozzle in lacquer thinner if dried paint is obstructing it.
Primer is peeling or flaking off
Ensure the surface was completely cleaned and degreased. If contamination persists, strip the area and re-apply on a clean, sanded surface.
Finish appears textured or gritty
Increase the spray distance slightly to avoid heavy buildup, and ensure the temperature is within the recommended application range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before application, shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball rattles to ensure the formula is properly blended. Use in a well-ventilated area, ideally between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, to ensure proper drying time and finish consistency.
Compatibility: This primer is designed to work as a foundational base for most standard automotive topcoats. Always perform a test spray on a scrap piece of metal if you are unsure about the compatibility with a specific paint brand.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging for future applications.
