This high-performance primer delivers a professional, spray-gun-quality finish directly from an aerosol can, saving significant time on surface preparation.

FAQs
Does this primer need a clear coat?
Yes, U-Pol HIGH5 is a primer and must be covered with an appropriate automotive topcoat system for UV protection and durability.
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
It is recommended to use a plastic adhesion promoter first if you are applying this primer directly to raw plastic surfaces.
How long does it take to dry before sanding?
Drying times vary by temperature and humidity, but it is typically sandable within 30 to 60 minutes in standard conditions.
Is this primer compatible with 2K paints?
Yes, HIGH5 is generally compatible with most 2K topcoats, but always verify compatibility with your specific paint manufacturer's technical sheet.
How many cans are in this pack?
This specific pack contains 5 cans of 450ml U-Pol HIGH5 Grey Primer.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is clogged and not spraying evenly.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a paint solvent, or replace it if available; alternatively, clear it by turning the can upside down and spraying.
Primer is running or sagging.
You are likely holding the can too close or applying too much paint in a single pass; reduce your application rate and increase distance.
Primer does not sand smoothly.
Ensure the primer has fully cured; if you sand too soon, the material may gum up the sandpaper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start with a surface that is clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. Before applying, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment and binders are fully integrated.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most automotive paint systems. Always perform a test patch on an inconspicuous area if you are unsure of substrate compatibility.
- Application: Keep the can approximately 20-30cm from the surface during use to prevent runs or sags.
- Storage: Store cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent the nozzle from clogging, turn the can upside down after use and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant exits the nozzle.
- Safety: Always wear appropriate respiratory protection and use in a well-ventilated area due to the aerosol contents.
