Primer compatibility

[jbridges]

Hey guys, Jerry here. I've almost finished this 3 year phantom build and have been distracted yet another time trying to get some paint and body work done on one of my cars. I have a gallon of sterling primer that I will probably only use half of to finish the boat. What I was wondering is if it would be comparable with a basecoat/ clearcoat urethane that I will use on the car. And also how would i thin it to use it in a sprayer ? Thanks for your help !

Which primer, high-build or finish? The reducers are different for spraying.

I have no clue if the paint will be compatible, chances are it will work, but you should try a test sample first

Hey joel, It was the high build. The guy in your supply store said it will work because it is the same primer that is used for auto but he wanted me to check with you to be sure. Also he wasn't sure on how to thin it. I'm almost tempted to just roll it on ! It's gonna get sanded anyway. Thanks

I sure would, unless you have some strange spaces that cannot be reached with a roller/brush

Can a sterling top coat be applied over a high build epoxy primer or do I need to apply finish primer first. Before top coat?

You can apply it over high build primer. At least I did and got pretty good results.
