Primer is everyone’s foundation when looking for the ultimate paint job. If you want all the colors and clearcoats to work properly, the primer must be applied right beforehand. Paint usually won’t stick to raw surfaces – you’ll need primer’s capacity for mechanical and chemical union with uncoated materials to give the color a chance. A color applied on top of primer has less chance of flaking, chipping, cracking, hazing, shrinkage – you name a potential problem and primer helps reduce the chances it’ll occur. ExpressPaint’s formula for the base coat is spec’d for ExpressPaint colors and clears, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility – things will bond properly and the quality of your finish will remain uncompromised.
