The paint is the first thing they notice on your restoration, and great paint starts with great paint prep. A high quality cleaner and degreaser will promote primer and paint adhesion. It's even great for powder coating. The final step in prepping for any primer, paint or powder project needs to be PRE Green Paint Prep. Plus these handy lint-free wipes that are pre-soaked in PRE Green Paint Prep make it easier than ever!

Removes silicone, wax, polish, grease and dirt
Helps promote primer, paint and powder adhesion

The pre-soaked lint-free wipes make it easier than ever to wipe-on and wipe-off the dirt
Proper surface preparation is one of the most important factors in helping you achieve a high-quality final finish. Our specially formulated PRE GREEN Painting Prep removes dirt, wax, polish, grease, silicone, buffing compound, even road tar, ensuring a clean surface that's ready for final paint or powdercoat.
Most prepsols and cleaner/degreasers are made with harsh chemicals that aren't even allowed to be used in some states. Where they are permitted, many people prefer not to expose themselves to these harsh chemicals. The Eastwood PRE GREEN Paint Prep handles these situations with ease, since it is 50 state compliant and doesn't contain the harsh chemicals of other products, but still provides the cleaning and degreasing power you need. A simple wipe on and wipe dry process will ensure that your next project has the great results you want.

I have about 8 aerosol cans and almost a gallon of the other Pre-Prep left, but will probably get the new green version when I get low. You do a great job with these videos dude!

I can’t find any videos regarding parts that have pem nut inserts. My company has many parts that require pems. We opted to powder coat before peming. However I have received mixed feedback. I like to pem before PC to cut labor time down but engineers are concerned the pem will not hold if we pem after PC. If anyone has any knowledge on this please comment.

All the paint shops close to me tell me to stay clear of ANY sandblasting simply due to the damage it causes.

Do you have to sand off the pre prep phosphorus coating prior to painting, or leave it on and go straight to cleaning then paint?
Thanks for the videos. They are short and to the point.

I always like to clean off the zinc-phosphate coating left by Fast Etch. However, I don't mess with Chromic acid. It does work well but it's too risky for my taste. I do good scuff with a Scotch-Brite followed by a ton of pre-painting prep. I've never had any problems; this method does take some elbow grease compared to an acid bath though.

Does powder coating hide any imperfections? Ex. light sanding marks from a DA

[@eastwoodco]

Powder coating will fill in minor sanding marks. I'd recommend sanding up to at least 220 grit to be safe.
