- Types of Primers and Their Uses:
- Regular Primer: Our standard 1K (Non-Catalyst) urethane primer is designed for versatility and can be used on both metal and non-metal surfaces. It is ideal for general automotive applications where a reliable primer is required.
- Direct-to-Metal Self-Etching Primer: This primer is formulated to adhere strongly to bare metal surfaces, ensuring excellent paint adhesion and providing a robust base for further painting.
- Epoxy Primer: Best for bare metal, epoxy primer offers superior protection against moisture, helping to prevent rust and enhance the durability of the paintwork.
- High Fill Primer: Similar to liquid Bondo, this urethane-based primer fills in imperfections effectively, creating a smooth surface ready for painting.
- Compatibility Warning: Avoid using rust-inhibiting primers such as those from Rustoleum or Krylon with our paint products, as they can cause adverse reactions like bubbling or delamination when used with OEM/professional automotive paints.
