rpsmith79 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I am planning on getting the front end ans skirts resprayed on my 5, but after a quick chat with the sprayshop last week i mentioned that i had resprayed one of my front wings with rattle cans, and he told me all that paint would have to come off as his paint would most likely react with it So what i want to do is strip the paint beforehand and primer the wing and skirts before he sprays them So what i really need to know is, are there any rattle can primers that are safe for me to use that won't then need to be stripped prior to painting, or will any sort of primer be ok I was thinking either high build primer so i can make sure the wing and skirts are free from lumps, bumps, scratches etc, or would etch primer be better/safer, or non of the above Obviously the more i can do myself the less it will cost at the spray shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsmith79 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 How does that stuff work then Princy, spray that over my rattle canned wing, then 2k primer over the top of that (see my edited post above for 2k primer in a can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff will form a sound base for the paint on top and won't allow the paint underneath to bleed through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I would strip it with starchem or nitromours and let them do the primer - else if it doesnt come out well they will blame it on poor prep - or may want to cut back your primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
