Basic Steps To Prep a Car

Video 2 - In this video I am prepping the car finish before priming. -
What Sandpaper Grit To Use
-
Self Etch vs Epoxy
Bare metal must have epoxy primer, self etching primer, or DTM Direct to metal primer. Primer surfacer should not be applied directly to bare metal. In this video, I will discuss the three primers and let you decide which one you prefer. -
How To Mask For Primer
Video 3 - In this video we are going to demonstrate how to mask a car that has been repaired for primer. In other training videos, we\'ve repaired the dent, applied and block sanded body filler and finishing glaze. Now we are ready to mask so we can prime. -
How To Mix Epoxy Primer
Video 4 - Demonstrating How To Mix Epoxy primer. -
How To Spray Epoxy Primer
Video 5 - In this video, we are applying epoxy to the area that has been repaired. Epoxy is the superior primer for adhesion and corrosion protection. This is why I like to apply one to two coats before applying primer surfacer (for filling.) If the repair did not require all coating to be removed, epoxy may not be needed. For example, using 180 to rough up an area to apply finish glaze putty. Like a small hail dent. Other procedures may include applying self etching primer to the metal to acheive the desired adhesion for other coating. After applying the epoxy, we\'ll apply two coats of primer surfacer. What types of primers do you use on repair areas? Self etching, epoxy, or other methods? -

Block Sanding Primer
Video 7 - In this video we are going to learn some tips for block sanding when using Motor Guard\'s new A -- 3 blocking kit.. The new blocking kit by motor guard works well for blocking all types of surfaces. The kit provides different blocks rigid and flexible for the different shapes of contours and surfaces that you will be sanding on. When blocking it\'s important to cross sand the surface, as it will provide a level surface and help feather edge all filler edges to a smooth transition from filler to the metal. Another thing you want to do when block sanding it to use long blocking strokes. This will prevent a choppy wavy appearance that may be seen after painting the surface. This kit also comes with a new flexible pad that works real well around corners by allowing the block to wrap completely around the corner to properly sand the repair area. If you have not tried this blocking kit I encourage you to give it a try. I think that you will really like the blocks and how it fits the different contours on a vehicle body. -
