Primer, what r u using ?

[Boney]

When you guys paint the tractors what kind of primer do you use? Are there special primers for special paints? Thankx for any help

I been using NAPA's self-etching primer, seems to fill pretty good without a lot of sanding between coats. But, my paint jobs are not restoration quality. Have seen on here where others recomend using primer and paint of same brand..MPH

I use a self etching primer on the bare metal surfaces then I top coat that with a fill & sand if I am trying to smooth out the part and wet sand it smooth...

I've done anything from a quick and easy rattle can job to a hand rubbed laquer paint job on my Sportster using down to 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper. You get out of it what you put into it, as seems to be the case with most things....

I just use NAPA self etching spray bomb primer, as I'm filling imperfections and smoothing. I use NAPA 8306 Gray Primer sealer as my finish primer. Needs sanded if you wait greater than 72 hours before the topcoat. (Or if you need to smooth)
