Do not use prep solvent over the fresh primer. Use regular water to clean off sanding dust and dry the area and then replace the dust contaminated masking tape and paper. Sand the primer in 30 minutes with 600 grit wet sandpaper. Apply 3 or more coats waiting 5-10 minutes dry time in-between coats. Primer will fill 180-320 grit wet sandpaper scratches. Many primer colors are available for better paint coverage. Apply aerosol primer spray paint over clean sanded metal or plastic treated with plastic parts adhesion promoter. Spray 2 light coats over lightly scuffed plastic. Use plastic parts adhesion promoter over bare plastic. In the case of painting in an enclosed area mask the entire car with plastic sheeting to prevent overspray. Use 1 1/2" or 2" masking tape for small areas like tail lights and reflectors. Doubling up newspaper will work fine but paint has a possibility of bleeding through with excessive heavy coats. Make a line with tape first, then tape paper to your existing tape line. Never tape off mid panel or you will see a tape line. Use 3M automotive grade 3/4" masking tape and masking paper or pretaped film. Mask off adjacent panels to prevent overspray. For new metal parts you may lightly use a red (medium) for topcoating with solid colors or grey scuff pad (fine) for metallic and pearls. Entire area to be painted should be dull and smooth.įor new plastic parts lightly scuff the area with a grey fine scuff pad. Wet sand the blend panel (area that might get some basecoat and will get clearcoated) with 1000-1500 grit wet sandpaper. Use 600 wet sandpaper to sand the area you will use basecoat. Primer will cover over 180-320 grit sand scratches. Sand out rust, scratches, or bad surface damage with 180-320 grit sandpaper. For better results do not apply paint in direct sunlight, high humidity, or where silicone waxes and tire dressings are present.
