Questions & Answers

Sanded to bare metal an entire '00 Volvo S40. I then used the SEM 42003 Black High-Build Primer over the bare-metal car. Has this been a mistake? Do I need to sand off $150 and re-shoot with 2k Primer? What issues could I experience if I leave it HB?

Asked by: JustAnOldCoot
While there technically wouldn't be an issue having high build on the vehicle the problem is on an over all paint job you would want to use with Epoxy primer or self etch as your base primer for ultimate strength.

How many cans would it take to cover a 1978 El Camino

Asked by: ISAIAH
Since each can covers approximately 15 SQ FT it would probably take 10-15 cans to cover the exterior of a vehicle. Since this is a non-catalyzed product it would not necessarily be the best option for durability. Our 2K urethane primer surfacer would be an automotive grade primer in a spray can. https://www.eastwood.com/2k-aerospraytm-high-build-urethane-primer-gray-black.html

Can this be used over Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and then top coated with Eastwood Underhood Black? I am looking to cover pitting on Radiator Support, Headlight Buckets and the like. Thank you.

Asked by: 73 Blue RT
You can certainly apply this product over our Rust Encasulator to allow you to block sand the area smooth in preparation for our underhood black.

Can body filler be applied on top of this primer?

Asked by: DonP_71
We do not recommend applying body filler over a non catalyzed primer such as this. The only one we sell you can do it over is our Epoxy primer.

Can this product be used on fiberglass? If so, does the fiberglass need to be prepped in some way before using?

Asked by: ChrisAllen
This can certainly be used on fiberglass. Just sand the surface with some 320 grit to put some scratches in for this to adhere to.

Can I spray urethane color base coats directly on to this without sanding within a certain time frame?

Asked by: JAZE101
Since this is a high building primer it is designed to be sanded prior to color coat to achieve proper film build.

high build doesn't seem to be sticking to bare metal. Does temp affect it sticking?

Asked by: bkillea
Temperature will definitely affect paint adhesion. We always recommend to have the outside temperature along with the substrate you are painting up to at least 70F.

Can I spray this directly onto the SprayMax 2K epoxy also sold on Eastwood's site? 

Asked by: Arthur56
You can use this over the cured and prepped epoxy with no issues, but it's far better to stick with catalyzed automotive primers through the whole project if that's the way you're starting. The 2K Aero Spray Urethane Primer will be far better to use over the epoxy primer.

Great product, sprays like a gun/builds thick...sprayed my entire truck with it after filler and prior to blocking. Do I need to have my painter spray another primer/sealer (epoxy?) before base coat? Thanks!

Asked by: jbs art shack
The use of a sealer will depend on the paint system you're using - some require a sealer, some do not. Any that you'd choose to use should have no compatibility issues with this primer.
