Thread: 5star Xtreme Primer

Tweet

Just another non name brand primer, the product sheet shows it to be usable over the standard surfaces and when mixed properly will also work as a filler or sealer. Looks like fairly hi solids, should make a good fill and prime, too.

Never heard of it or used it, no idea how the adhesion is, but if the product sheet is reliable it should be ok... Certainly not top of the line, but probably an acceptable primer for this application. I'm not near as fussy as the pro painters though, might want to wait for some of them to check in on it....

Thanks Dave,

I phoned the POR15 rep and he said there should be no problem spraying it over the POR15 Tie-Coat primer and the rep from Lizard skin said it will be a good base to apply the coatings to. So that made me happy.

I went out with the intention of doing the underside and body panels where I am putting the Lizard Skin and I ended up doing the whole interior except the roof. I found a 38"x68" sliding rag-top for that .

It sprayed real easy and came out nice and smooth using a 1.8 tip and 30 psi at the gun (HVLP). A lot easier than the urathane I used on my frame. I mixed it 4:1:2 as per the directions for primer sealer so am I correct in thinking this is ready for topcoat now. I've only done the underside and interior so I don't need a high fill.
