Paint 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\n

They 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.
