SINCE I started using polyester Primer, I will NEVER GO BACK...
The stuff is amazing, just everything you can ask for, sand the surface smooth, blast on the primer, and then countour board the car to see what you have, it will save you a lot of body work...
NO OTHER WAY TO GO, and there is NO reason not to spray yourself anymore, with the new turbine paint systems out there now, you can buy one for $500 and then keep it clean and sell it for $425 after you use it, if you will never need it again... You dont even need a compressor or have to worry about air dryers, etc... Just plug it in, mix the apint and go to town, hardly ANY over spray too, I am a jerk so I use a compressor and paint gun, BUT there is no need, I used my brothers turbine system, ad they are amazing, I think in an untrained hand it does better than that same hand could do with a pro hvlp setup...........
BUY once CRY once...
If you are stuck on an a-sol primer, get the SEM, if that is too much or not in your area go to napa and get this one, it works good, sticks to everything has some flex in it and is designed for any conditions (even good on plastic)
