    Question about "primer" paint jobs

     



    I am one of those pnes that loves the look of the "hot rod" black primer look.
    My question is I have heards that these primer "paint" jobs do not last as long as as a regular paint job.
    Begins to fade, etc.
    Is there any truth to this?
    I would be using PPG DP 90.
    Thanks, Patrick

    Cover your DP90 with PPG "Hot Rod Black".

    Primer will not hold up to the sun's UV rays like a top coat.

    I have John Deere Blitz Black on my roadster. But I would have used Hot Rod Black if had been available when my ride was ready for paint.

    If you must use a primer mix it with lacquer for a better look and some protection from rust.. Use a mix of 70% primer and 30% lacquer. Should last 8-10 months then re shoot it.
