## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this product and sem self-etching primer?**
A: The high build primer is used under the top coat, to fill any scratches or minor imperfections while finish sanding, and self-etching is used only on bare metal, under any body filler, or other primer.

**Q: Does this stick to silicone?**
A: NOTHING sticks to silicone...or...nylon.

**Q: How well will this adhere to existing finishes?  I have some bare metal and some areas of existing paint and other primer.**
A: As long as you sand the paint and medal with at least 220 grit sand paper fine. I have been using it on fiberglass/paint. It will show you the high spots and lows. You could also use a contrast material to make sanding easier to get your smooth finished product. Hope this helps.

**Q: How long does it have to dry before recoating?**
A: It  is mainly depending on environmental temperture. Watch the first  coat, when it flashes, it is ready for the next coat. A  little extra wait wont hurt.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great spray pattern, works well with plastic, and hides blemishes.
*by A***R on May 25, 2022*

used this to paint some chrome trim around the front grille of a 06 Acura TSX. It had lots of rock chips and dings so i wanted a high build primer to fill it in. i didn't do much sanding before since it was going to get chipped up again after a month of driving but the SEM primer filled in nearly everything smooth. the best part is they use a great spray nozzle. did 3 coats and every time i used it it was a nice predictable even spray pattern with no splatter. came out perfect, easy to sand, and easy to add a few extra coats in spots that need more build up. i had no intention to make the trim piece perfect before paint but it ended up perfect thanks to this primer.
