About TouchUpDirect Primers

  • All TouchUpDirect primers—whether in Pen, Brush, Combo, or Professional sizes—are water-based

  • Aerosol primer is low-VOC (volatile organic compounds), making it safer for use and better for the environment

  • All our primers come in light grey for optimal coverage

When Should I Use Primer?

Primer is used to help paint stick to unpainted surfaces like metal, plastic, carbon fiber, or polycarbonate. It creates a surface that allows the Colorcoat or Tricoat to bond properly and last longer.

When Primer Is Needed

You should use primer if:

  • The area you're painting shows bare metal, plastic, or other raw material

  • You’ve used filler or body repair compounds as part of your repair

Primer is not included in every kit, so check your repair area to determine if it’s needed.
