The E-TECH Technik Self-Etch Primer has been specially developed to allow notoriously difficult surfaces to be painted such as: Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Galvanised, treated or untreated steel, Bare metals and Fibre Glass.
When sprayed onto a surface a chemical process starts and the acid content impregnates the top later of the surface and provides a firm foundation or further paint layers. The advanced primer technology allows it to be compatible with virtually any primer or top coat of paint.
Features:
- Chemically etches the surface creating a firm foundation for primer and paint.
- Microscopically impregnates the first few microns of the surface promoting excellent primer and paint adhesion.
- Ideal for restoration and refurbishment of alloy wheels.
- Can be overpainted.
- Etches and primes in one step.
- Genuine E-Tech Product. Can packaging may vary.
- Price is for 1 x 400ml Technik self etch primer spray can.
APPLICATION:
- Hold can 20-30cm (8-12") from the surface and spray with a smooth side-to-side motion
- We recommend that you apply 2 thin coats allowing 10 minutes between coats to dry to a tacky film.
- Leave the Self-Etch Primer to completely dry for at least 24 hours to allow the etching process to work and ensure that the solvents contained in it completely evaporate.
- After use turn the can upside down, spray until the nozzle is clear or remove the nozzle and soak in thinners.
- After 24 hours drying the curing process should be complete. Only when the Self-Etch Primer is completely dry can you then lightly sand it with a very fine abrasive paper. DO NOT use any water as this may impede the acid etching process. DRY SAND ONLY and use a tack rag to remove any dust or debris.
- The surface is now primed.
- The surface is now ready to have the top coat of paint applied.
- On smooth surfaces like stainless steel and galvanized metals you must sand (key) the area to be etched before applying the Self-Etch Primer to ensure good adhesion.
