What Are Polyester Primers?

Polyester primers serve as an excellent base for any paint system and can build a spray-able body filler. They also have great filling characteristics. Their high build formula will allow you to achieve the ideal surface before painting and provides quality adhesion to steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. If you are starting a new, extensive paint job, then supplying yourself with a polyester primer is a must. It can dramatically affect the length and quality of the paint job and provide you with long-lasting results.

In our selection of polyester primers are two different types:

  • Grey surface primer
  • White surface primer

These primers can be used at the beginning of many different projects that use polyester. Also included in our selection in conjunction with the primers is a hi-gloss additive and a clear polyester hi-gloss coating. All of these materials are reliable and can be used for an assortment of jobs.

Polyester Primer Benefits

Polyester primer is a type of automotive primer that is formulated with polyester resin. This primer is designed to provide excellent adhesion and filling properties, which makes it an ideal choice for use on non-metal surfaces like fiberglass and plastic. Polyester primer is typically used as an intermediate coat between the surface of the vehicle and the topcoat. Here are some of the key benefits of using a polyester primer.

  • Great resistance to corrosion.
  • Provides excellent adhesion to metal surfaces.
  • Ability to fill in small imperfections in the surface.
  • Use it with a variety of topcoats.
  • Dries quickly and is easy to sand.
  • When applied properly, it provides a smooth, even surface for painting.

Uses for Polyester Primers

Polyester primer is best used in the following ways:

  • When the surface is fiberglass, plastic, or bare metal.
  • If there are many small imperfections to fill in.
  • When a high build is needed for a smooth surface finish.
  • If the surface will be exposed to harsh environmental factors.

Ultimately, polyester primer is an excellent choice for non-metal surfaces and for surfaces with minor imperfections. However, it can be difficult and expensive to apply and may require special expertise to achieve the desired results. As with any type of primer, choosing the right type for your specific needs will depend on the condition of the surface you are applying it to and the type of paint you plan to use afterwards.

8 Factors to Consider When Selecting Primer

  1. Purpose: The purpose of the primer determines the type of primer you will need. For example, a primer for a wall may be different from a primer for metal surfaces or wood. Choose wisely.
  2. Environment: Before applying the primer, it is important to consider the environment and if it can withstand certain elements.
  3. Type of Surface: You must be aware of the type of surface you are using it for, since some surfaces require an oil-based primer, while others may require a water-based primer.
  4. Cost: If you are working on a budget, then you should consider the cost of the polyester primer. Some primers may be more expensive than others, but they may provide better coverage or durability. Selecting the right one for your budget goes a long way.
  5. Adhesion: The primer you select needs to be able to adhere to the surface in order to provide a good base for the topcoat. The adhesion of the primer should be compatible with the material it will be applied to.
  6. Drying time: It is important to consider the drying time of the primer. This is especially true if you need to apply multiple coats or a topcoat during its application.
  7. Coverage: If the primer does not cover well, then additional coats may be needed in order to finish. So not knowing the coverage can increase the cost and time needed for the project.
  8. Compatibility: The primer should be compatible with the topcoat that will be applied.
