Primer Paint for Beginners - 2K High Build Primer Application on the Honda Step #7
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this episode follow along as I got through some automotive primer basics. The epoxy primer sat for a little over 40 hours before I had a chance to tackle it with some high build, so I scuffed it to ensure proper adhesion. With the putty glaze, I filled the pin holes and minor imperfections to straighten the panels a little more too. Is primer needed? The answer is yes, simply applying paint over filler work will only show the imperfections of the filler applications. And it’s not recommended to throw on layer after layer of base or single stage as it only would cost more money on material and be more work to fade away blemishes. Some of my previous videos also show some bondo for beginners, working with short stand fillers and lightweight fillers. I know of few of you have also asked what psi should I paint with and for myself, I have juggled around with my spray settings. With the epoxy primer, I sprayed at 30 psi out the gun and with the high build primer I sprayed at 28 psi. In my next video, I will go over a few hvlp basics that have helped me during my whole painting process. Honestly painting car grey primer has come out looking pretty nice where I have been pondering the idea of keeping it grey, but I have settled on a car finally and soon I think I am ready to reveal that color with all of you. Still have a lot of block sanding to do on the Honda Civic, going to start with some 220 grit, block it down and then re prime and re sand with 320 and 400 before applying base/clear.
I wanted to reach out and thank Honda Vlogs for mentioning me in his previous video. If you all are looking for a great channel that recaps the RUclips Honda community and more I strongly suggest that you all check out his channel.

Exactly the tunes I'd be listening to doing the job! Looks great 👍
This prep work is done RIGHT!
can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks man, just a little further to go
@@GarageSpeCivic a tip, always spot prime bondo areas first, they are sucking up the primer ;)
Vince is sharp as a tack. Cool build No Doubt! Great team effort.
Wrong video. sorry!
He watched Forks Over Knives and said to himself: I need to live healthier from now on. So that's when he started mixing his paints with a stainless fork.
You should spray over your body filler first then over the rest of car.
Good one: this is a technique used for drywall to feather the edges of the putty repair and it should be as effective in this situation.
So many debates over this. Just got off the phone with Tamco they said no filler on bare metal creates heat then condensation on metal and to put over there DTM high build 5310. I do not need epoxy if car is inside all the time it will save you a lot of money just block and top coat your done and still have epoxy properties in the DTM.
I have some omni primer do I need to mix it with activator and reducer or just reducer?
Just reduce it b
Nice work with the GoPro
Thanks Jacob, it adds alot to the videos.
Good job Apply on repairs first before you do the whole area
One car, two cups!
Few questions. 1. Did you spray epoxy then body filler then high build ? 2. Did you use that little Dewalt compressor to spray epoxy primer? That's wjat I have and just need to get epoxy laid down
What size air compressor you use? What are the specs on it. Really nice car btw!
this dude aint playing around, he is shooting for keeps. ...hey man what type of respirator are you using, if you don't mind me asking?
came out amazing, good job
Thanks alot
Good job.
I have an old Southbend lathe that needs finishing. After I sandblast everything and prep the metal, what 2k epoxy and high fill primer do you recommend?
Thanks,
Paul
Great video, what primer and what size air compressor did you use
👀👀 looks great
Where do you find these dopey beats ... :) they have me smiling like ....
looking good. how may quarts did you use per coat?
Nice episode
Thanks
I mean is it two coats or two passes?
How much do you mix up the 2k primer and activator.
nice work, nice music!
What size is your DeWalt compressor? Looks like the one I just bought. Mine's a 27 Gal with something like 1.7 or 1.8 hp. 6.2 cfm @ 40lbs
What kind of primer? What kind of primer for the bumpers? Did you add a flex agent ?
Great video. Just wondering why you didn’t paint the roof first. Less chance of your t-shirt rubbing on wet primer 👍
You are correct. Definately something to start with first. I honestly think I got caught up in the moment and didnt pay attention to the process of where I should have started.
Garage SpeCivic great video. Thanks for sharing
How did you created that gap between the trim molding around the back window. ?
See this is why I don’t understand people when they complain about paint transfers that happen in the sun but you can repair by putting a little bit of water on your towel and wiping it off. Instead people go and pay $500 for somebody to do that exact same thing put a little water on a towel and wipe it off.
It’s the same thing with painting the car why spend $5000 to send the car back to Toyota to have repainted when you could just do it yourself for a fifth the price. I guess it’s for the same reason you don’t take apart the Xbox because Toyota won’t refund the warranty on the car if break the seal.
New sub. I'm doing a Civic too you don't want to know how much damage it had. Question: The primer you painted over in this vid seemed real shiny what grit was it sanded to (wet or dry?) before your high build? Looks like you're doing a great job I'll have to jump ahead and see the final!
I epoxy primered the car first and within 24 hours layed high build ontop of that, within a 48 hour window you can still achieve a chemical bond after epoxy primer, therefore sprayed on high build next, dry sanded that, then base then clearcoat, wet sanding clear coat
Ah that's it! Very correct I had assumed it was 2K sanded to 1000 or something.. Thanks!
@@67polara no problem
What kind of compressor do you have. Looks like it works well.

how much did the high build "hide"? i am about to 2k prime my project car but there are some very small inperfections that i dont want to show threw the paint.. i can barely feel them when rubbing my hand along the car... think the 2k prime stands a chance of evening things out??
Depends on how many layers of high build you throw on I'd say, and the quality of that high build. It would probably be better and cheaper to use a similar glazing puddy like I did to remove those types of imperfections. Relying on the high build may disappoint you in the end when you throw color on. For me the high build does a good job filling in some scratches, but for dents, valleys or anything deeper then a good scratch I think will show through. Little glaze, little sanding, then primer ontop you'll be happy you did it
I am learning alot from you. Once I get this RHD firewall into my EJ1 ill be doing basically what you've done. I only need 1 quarter though. Btw what year is your H22A?
Happy to hear your learning, if you ever have questions I'll do my best to answer them, also with the H22A Japanese 5th gen 1997-2001 Prelude SiR,
Damn. I need a '92-'93 H22 AC compressor (R12). The AC lines that came with my rhd clip are r12.
Thanks for the offer for help btw. Im sure I will have questions once the time comes for body work and paint in the next few months. 1 quarter is perfect the other one has alot of bondo from the previous owner and Im terrified to see what is underneath it, i can see the tiniest bit of rust around the edges of the bondo...
hopefully repairable without to much work, let me know how that reveal turns out, send a photo to me even on my instagram @garagespecivic
wondering .. whats the stats you need on a compressor to do a paint job ?
He has 5 cfm at 90 psi. I have 6 cfm at 9 psi (I paid 300 canadian off kjiji - our craigs). Keep in mind you better have a very good dessicant system (expect to spend 2-3 hundreds if you wanna get stellar results - ask me if you're not sure). What matters is the gun. He is using a Husky small gun requiring 4 cfm (it's about pairing the gun with the compressor for the most part, but if you're working so slow that your paint goes past the flash point, not sure how the edges will blend - but I doubt most guns are that slow).
Now I have used the QualSpray Am 5008 for houserepairs (1.8 and 2.5 tip) - which means that it can be used for the car too since the car paints are much thinner. QualSpray is rebranded low tier Asturos (literally, they even have the same code, AM 5008 and AM 6008 and so on) - and the seller Jeff Jewitt is a pro finisher, wrote books on finishing and whatnot. Wood finishers around the world are using these guns and I found on forums DYI dudes and pros having used these guns for about anything - especially if it's a pressure cup gun. So far happy with the purchase - look at the lineup and research reviews: homesteadfinishingproducts.com/products-we-offer/hvlp-spray-equipment/qualspray-hvlp-guns/ .
For primer I would go with a cheaper gun like SprayIt - and I heard that SprayIt works well for coat/primer too. SprayIt has a smaller series of guns - one is swivel ( SP-352) - and they use lower cfm like this Husky. The small gun can be found with 1.5 and 1.7 kits: www.californiaairtools.com/spray-guns/ . I'm planning to get a 352 for primers and odd stuff like undercoats.
Hi fantastic video what size nozzle for primer, and what size for top coat
1.8 epoxy and primer, 1.4 basecoat and clear
You use chiffon before primer?? Is that from the pros?
I thought this was for beginners?.....
(1) no compressor suggestions
(2) no PSI at gun suggestions
(3) no mixing details
(3) no gun tip suggestions
(4) water trap suggestions or contaminate details....
sorry chris, i guess i was trying to cheat the youtube algorithm for views. apologies if it wasn't what you were looking for.
Who is in the first song (during the mixing montage)?
What’s the mixing ratio?
how much 2k primer did you purchase? 1 quart??
Do you remember what psi you sprayed the high build at with the husky gun
Yup, I sprayed at 30 psi for the high build with the husky gun
You look like a fighter pilot in the thumbnail
Does the 2k primer protect against corrosion?
A lot of primers out there protect against corrosion, DTM (direct to metal) primers is what you need first to provide a great barrier/seal against moisture/corrosion. That is if your working with new metal, sealing welded repairs, repairing rust. Say the body of a car was just faded with no rust, some small filler repairs and we wanted to paint over it. Skipping the epoxy or etch DTM primer would be fine. Spot priming over the filler with a primer sealer would add insurance to protection and then going in there with a high build after would be nice. I myself did the epoxy primer first and then the high build primer after. I'm no professional with this but what i learned from my local body paint supply store taught me a lot. I suggest visiting a local store for yourself and speaking with the representatives about your project and they will give you a good rundown on what you can use.
Thanks!
What brand was the primer? Great work by the way.
See the previous vid, nr 5, Pro series something, the same as the epoxy.
Those isocyanates are transdermally entering your bloodstream. Not good for your eyes either. Your hobby looks to be a darwin assist program.
OK but maybe plastic over your shelves and tools would be good.

How much primer did u use
1 1/2 quarts give er take
Garage SpeCivic so I’m better off getting a gallon so spray my eg hatch ?
@@jokerrr14 definitely having the gallon is nice. You'll have lots extra for future projects.
How much did u waste on 1 1/2 quarts
@@jokerrr14sorry, what u mean waste?
The hockey helmet tho... really?
U preped it wrong..too much primer will affect ur results
Over 2 minutes of a 6:42 minute video before you show anything worth watching. Not good.
No fresh air system? Good luck
Imagine calling primer “paint” lmao
Have you used the 2k In a spray can any different want to do my frame of my bike I'm building going to do it all with spray cans pearl white with 2k clear coat any pointers ? Thank you!
I have used the 2k in a can, got some color sample cans from a body shop, originally for when I was deciding my color. Was surprised with how well it sprayed. Getting a good 2k aerosol can makes the world of difference, but all I can recommend is just following the can instructions. With a bike frame id dust the first coat, 40-50% coverage, hit it again with another light coat. And for the 3rd look for that full coverage. Creating a nice tacky base should help with avoiding runs. I've used that method for my headlights or parts with lots of curves for example and have shed some really nice results.
@@GarageSpeCivic great advice THANK YOU I subbed to help yiur channel
