PROPER PREP IS CRUCIAL

The only way to achieve a professional-looking, long-lasting finish is with proper preparation. ColorSpec recommends all surfaces be primed prior to the application of Base Coat Colour.
For best results, only use ColorSpec Base Coat Colour over ColorSpec primers.

BEFORE USING PRIMER 

If you have any rust, treat it with rust converter. If you have any dents or other damage in need of repair, use body filler. 

WHICH PRIMER? 

BARE METAL & MECHANICAL PARTS 

Start with ColorSpec Etch Primer. It adds anti-corrosion properties, while promoting maximum adhesion to most bare metals, including steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. Follow with either Primer Surfacer if the surface is finished to a high standard, or Primer Filler for repaired areas. 

PLASTIC PARTS 

Specifically designed with flexible properties, ColorSpec Plastic Primer Filler is ideal for bumper bars, side mirrors, mouldings and automotive plastics, along with most household and industrial plastic components. Promotes maximum adhesion to bare and painted plastic, while its high-build properties enable you to flatten minor surface imperfections. 

WOOD & FIBREGLASS 

ColorSpec Primer Surfacer and Primer Filler can be used to prime wood and MDF products along with fibreglass. Use Primer Surfacer if the surface is finished to a high standard, or Primer Filler for repaired areas. 

PRIMING OVER A BODY REPAIR 

ColorSpec recommends Primer Filler over body repairs. It’s high build, easy sanding properties enables you to flatten minor surface imperfections and feathered paint edges during sanding. Successive coats of Primer Surfacer can be layered to achieve a similar result.
