CollisionBlast.com In this video we are going to apply primer surfacer. The repair has already been cleaned, masked and sprayed with epoxy primer. Now the filler primer or primer surfacer ia applied to fill any scratched left by the sanding. Once the primer surfacer is applied, you can block sand the surface, which should be ready for sealer, paint and clear. If not, it may be necessary to repeat this step. The goal is to sand all of the guide coat off without sanding through the primer surfacer ot epoxy coatings. Step 1 – Mix the primer surfacer (most primer surfacers do NOT have an induction time. mix and spray) Step 2 – Read the procedure pages for specific recommendations. For the primer we used, the epoxy requires a flash time of 30 minutes. This means that the primer should dry for at least 30 minutes. However, this epoxy has a 72 hour window. This means that you have up to 72 hours to spray on top of it without sanding. If more than 72 hours has passed, you must scuff the panel to provide mechanical adhesion. Step 3 – Apply the primer to surface. Again, read your procedure pages. This primer state to apply to coats. Be sure to wait the recommended flash time between coats. Now allow the primer to dry thoroughly, before block sanding. The primer we used said to wait at least 3 hours, but I always like to wait longer to ensure it had adequate time to dry.

@Amopower I am not sure if you can buy Shopline online. However, I do know of another line that I have had good luck with as well. They have primers, clears, base coats, and anything else you can think of. Visit CollisionBlast(dot)com/KustomShop

Go ahead and block it out and reprime. If the scratches are bad after priming you can also use glaze putty after sanded. Be sure to use guide coat before blocking. This will help identify your scratches and lows. Sometimes it take a few prime block and sand to get it right.

@taylorb2053 This is an agitator lid for a mixing system. You should be able to get them from any auto paint store. They are not too expensive. Thanks for watching…Be sure to check out my website at Collision Blast for more training!

@llaracuente hey not a paint guy but do know a bit about business. may be bit late but hey. basically work out how much materials u you used and work out how much that cost say £4 of materials then how long it took so say half hour of your time to sort it all out so charging at £30 an hour for labour(thats cheap were i live its like £50) so £19 and just round it up to £20 to make your life easy.
most shops dont do it this way and just rob people. (all prices are guesses on my part)

@juanjo12el no, apply both coats of primer surfacer before sanding.
#12 by juanjo12el on December 27, 2011 - 1:01 pm
do you sand in between coats of primer?
#13 by ButlerCollision on December 27, 2011 - 1:35 pm
@Mr513phill . Yes, epoxy provides excellent corrosion protection and should be applies over bare metal. The you can apply 2k primer filler on top for build to fill sand scratches. There are other methods, but this is my preferred method.
#14 by Mr513phill on December 27, 2011 - 2:10 pm
should epoxy primer be sprayed BEFORE regular 2k primer? then base then clear? if its bare metal i mean?

these videos are great! It was a little hard to find the videos when you were working on the cavalier. Is there a full play list that just shows each video?

@car0010 We are not spraying acrylic, it is a 2k urethane primer surfacer. Well, first we sprayed epoxy for corrosion protection and adhesion then we sprayed the primer surfacer.
