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.
