Thread: Is a primer coat needed?

hi

createx paint: Non-Porous Surfaces: Clean thoroughly using both soap & water and solvent-based degreasers to remove all contaminants and oils. Scuff using 600 –800 grit sandpaper or a scuff-pad an equivalent coarseness. Clean again after scuffing prior to paint. Best to start with Createx Opaque White & Black or Auto Air 4000 Series Sealer for initial coat with an even, uniform value over-which other colors with improved coverage and a brighter value.

Thats from this tech guide: http://www.createxcolors.com/technic...ationGuide.pdf

In that guide it also explains the differences in paint opaque, pearlized, transparent. Which you use depends on the effect you are looking a accomplish.

I think you'll find the guide helpful.

HI Schooner welcome to howtoairbrush.com

by paint panels do you mean like the tank, fenders? Oil cover?

If so you want to use a spray gun for the base coat, clear coat and airbrush to add artwork or graphics.

Pearl Flex? You mean pearl paint?
That compressor would be fine as log as you have a regulator and moisture trap on it.
