What does primer paint do?
\r\n\r\nPaint primers provide a slightly abrasive surface for your car’s spray paint to stick to. Without a primer, your spray paint will simply slide away.
\r\n\r\nThey work by turning porous surfaces into a smooth, adhesive base upon which paint can be applied- and they’re great for enabling the painting of cars and vans.
\r\n\r\nAbout our primer paint products

\r\n\r\n- \r\n

\r\n\r\nSpray primers & etch primers
\r\n\r\nYou might need a primer after filling a dent or hole, sorting out a scratch or if you’re planning on a complete respray. As well as standard primers, we sell etch primers that work by using an acid to adhere to your car’s surface. They cure faster and are preferred by the trade. We also have anti-rust primers that will ensure your repair doesn’t degrade over time.
