Good Quality Primer

a year ago

I needed a good quality primer to paint a differential, as well as brake calipers I was installing on my vehicle. This primer covered well and after priming I was able to top-coat the differential and brake calipers without any fuss (also with VHT paint). One can of primer was more than sufficient to prime my differential and 4 brake calipers.

VHT primer

Product performed as stated. I was hoping that it would have had a slightly shinier finish but it still looks good. A little more on the gray side as opposed to silver.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Q: If I have no primer can I use the paint itself as a primer

2 years ago

2 Answers

A: From what I have researched you can use this without primer, in fact if you are going to use a primer it will need to be a high temp primer as well. I used it on exhaust manifolds without a primer and it seems to be holding up very well.

Q: Faut-il cuire l'apprêt VHT haute-température avant de lui mettre la peinture VHT haute-température???

2 years ago

Translate with Google

1 Answer

A: Bonjour, Il n’est pas nécessaire de thermodurcir les produits entre chacune des étapes. Vous pouvez appliquer chacune des étapes dans l’ordre apprêt, peinture et clair avec un délai de 10 minutes entre chacune. Si vous attendez plus de une heure, vous serez dans l’obligation d’attendre 7 jours pour appliquer les produits des étape suivantes. Je vous suggère donc d’appliquer les produits avec un délai de 10 minutes entre chacune et ensuite thermodurcir le fini lorsque le système de produits sera complété. Thermodurcir c’est lorsque qu’on chauffe la peinture et comprenez que le durcissement du revêtement (polymérisation) ne se fera pas avant d’avoir chauffé la surface.

Q: Can I use it as primer on motorcycle exhaust?

6 years ago

1 Answer

A: Flameproof Primer would be suitable on a motorcycle exhaust. Please ensure that you don’t plan on top-coating the primer with a non-high-heat rated paint under the assumption that the primer will protect the top-coat. A high heat top coat must still be used.
