Epoxy Primer:
This DTM (Direct-to-Metal) primer offers excellent adhesion and sealing properties on bare metal. It’s great for use after media blasting or paint stripping and also works well over body fillers.
Self-Etching Primer:
A traditional DTM primer containing an acid that provides the extra bite to give you a solid layer to build on steel, stainless or aluminum.
Urethane Primer:
A sandable primer that allows for leveling out imperfections. This is excellent as part of a “double primer system” and is typically sprayed over epoxy or self-etching primer.
Polyester Primers:
Think "sprayable body filler". Polyester ultra-high-build primer is the trick the pros use to get laser straight body panels and a killer paint job in the end.
