The Advantages of Standox Primers

• Isolation: protects the metal before painting.
• Protection: prevents corrosion.

Steps for Applying Standox Primer

• Car Preparation:
  • Sand with approximately 1000-grit sandpaper to remove putty and paint.
  • Ensure all areas, including unpainted ones, are smooth.
• Primer Application:
  • Shake the can and spray from 25 cm away from the surface.
  • Apply two coats, then a third if necessary to fully cover the metal.
  • Let dry and check for uniformity; gently sand with 600-grit if runs appear.
• Tips for Successful Priming:
  • First coat should be light, without letting it dry before finishing the spray.
  • Do not overload in a single pass.
  • Do not exceed four coats of primer.

When to Use (or Not Use) a Primer?

Primer is an essential bonding agent in most repairs: it ensures adhesion and protection. After sanding, always apply a primer before painting. For very small touch-ups where the metal is minimally affected, some professionals may skip this step.
