The product of the undercoat and paintwork of the body -this is a very responsible business for every motorist, requiring a lot of time, attention and effort. After all, on how qualitatively you paint your iron friend, will depend on its future appearance, as well as the degree of vulnerability to corrosion. It is clear that expensive equipment for this purpose is not necessary to buy (if only because its price is comparable to the cost of a new car), but to pay close attention to the choice of materials for painting is just necessary. And today we will talk about such material as a primer for cars.
What is it important?
Despite the fact that this material does not affectaesthetic qualities of the machine, since several layers of paint are applied on top of it, it is not worth saving on it. Primer for cars is used first, so it is it that performs the function of reliable adhesion of the paint and metal on the body. Also, from the correct application of it will depend on how long your car will last without rust. Proceeding from this, it can be understood that priming for cars is not just a formality, but the very first step to painting the body, on which the future appearance of the car will depend.
Varieties
At the moment there are so many varieties of this material, but today we will only consider the most basic of its types.
Etching primer for auto is one of thethe most popular paint and varnish materials among domestic motorists. It contains a special acid, which when applied to the surface of the body removes a small layer of metal. This is done to ensure that the next layers of paint are better kept on the machine, and, of course, that in the future there are no corrosion effects.
Strengthening primer is mainly used forleveling the surface of the body of the car at the slightest dents. It is very easy to work with it and thanks to its special composition it can be applied in several layers, leveling the dent to the desired kind. However, it is not necessary to confuse the strengthening soil with a hardener, which, in fact, is not considered a primer and is applied to certain cracks and damages in large quantities, filling all irregularities with its mass (similar to putty). And it is applied only with the help of a compressor under high pressure.
Anticorrosive primer for auto is itselfpopular for applications for all Russian cars. Without fail, it is applied to bare metal to further protect it from rust. If this material is applied to the old paint and then after the drying of the soil, apply fresh, then there will be no protection against rust, not to mention the adhesion of the layers of paint. In all specialized stores, an anticorrosive primer is sold in cans.
