DIY How To Spray Primer Surfacer - Automotive Paint and Refinish Training in HD

http://CollisionBlast.com/AmazonBooks
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.

I am repainting my truck. I blasted the whole bed with a soda blaster and have some parts on it that need a little bodywork. What would be the best thing to put on the bare metal to keep it from rusting while im working on those parts?

@mxkx48 Epoxy primer would be the best primer for your truck. The best thing about epoxy, is that it is the only primer that body filler can be applied

@ButlerCollision i plan to go with a bc/cc system. Probably a cheap one since its my first paintjob and if i mess up it wont be expensive to repair. I will more than likely be using summit racing's paint. After i spray the epoxy and get the spots repaired, do i go straight to a primer surfacer r what? And would a urethane or acrylic urethane be the easier way to go for a beginner?

@mxkx48 Yes, once epoxy is sprayed, you can wait the recommended time (usually 30 minutes with most brands) and then shoot your surfacer. Anywhere you spray surfacer must be sanded. So after the surfacer is dry, block sand with 320, then 400-500 and you are ready to paint. I have a step-by-step guide for prepping a car you may be interested in.

Is epoxy primer sandable and paintable?

[ButlerCollision]

@mixtecapitbullkennel Epoxy does not sand well. If you are going to sand, it is better to apply primer surfacer over the epoxy. You can paint on epoxy without sanding as well. However, it has to be within 72 hours with many epoxies. If you wait linger than 72 hours, you will need to give it a light scuff.

@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

Nice videos. Where can the DIY'er purchase the Shopline series of products like the JP202 that you are using? I couldnt find a way to get it on the internet. thanks!
