Questions & Answers

Is this able to be base coated over or does it need sealer first

Asked by: Hunter
I would recommend sealing this for sure. But, you can paint over polyester primer. It is essential to ensure that the primer is properly sanded and prepared before applying the paint. Polyester primer is designed to provide a smooth, high-build surface, making it an excellent base for paint when applied correctly.

I need more activator and not sure which kind to buy?And also what is the ratio for this product because it said 20% which is 4:1 ???

Asked by: Bill
MIX: 2% by weight; 2.56 oz per Gallon; .64 oz per Quart. This is a small amount of hardener, NOT 20%. Do not over harden, it will cause severe spray problems. You would need a clear liquid hardener for Polyester.

Can this be applied over Eastwood 1 to 1 epoxy primer? Does the epoxy primer need to be sanded first? If so, what grit?

Asked by: RobJ
Yes, the Eastwood CONTOUR® Polyester Primer Direct to Metal Surfacer can be applied over Eastwood 1:1 Epoxy Primer. However, the epoxy primer must be sanded first to ensure proper adhesion. The recommended sanding process involves using 320-400 grit sandpaper to prepare the surface before applying the polyester primer.
