Hi, it’s Tony from LearnAutoBodyAndPaint. Today’s video is How-To Spray Primer/Sealer & Spray Gun Settings!
Welcome to the series. We’re sanding our bumper cover down with 400-grit wet sand and getting it ready for primer. For the rest of the truck, I’m hitting it with 320-grit on my DA Sander, getting it ready for paint. After I dry sand, I will wash it off with 400-grit wet sand.
All of the metal you see will be covered with primer. Otherwise, those that I don’t touch in the bed will be covered with bed liner.
We are working with the Atom X20 Spray Gun. Since we’re spraying with thicker 2K primer with this awesome spray gun, we’ll be switching the tip. Use 1.8mm to 2.0mm tip size for primer sealers.
Grab your own Atom Spray Gun on Zoolaa now. With a combined German and Japanese-style craftsmanship, these spray guns are definitely a cut above the rest. And, it costs so much less than the more popular brands.
Watch the video as I demonstrate how to switch the tip of your Atom X20 Spray Gun.
We’re now looking at the Advantage Primer. I have never used this before. Sometimes it is good to test out different products to know what you like best.
I’ll be giving you a review on this once I test it out. The Advantage Clear is not that great, but I heard a lot better reviews with their primers.
The Advantage Primer is a 4:1 mixture, which means 4 parts primer and 1 part activator or hardener.
When it comes to mixing primers, it is not a science. You can always add a little extra reducer if you feel like it’s a little too thick for your spray gun.
It is recommended to use a larger tip size when spraying this so you don’t have to reduce it down. But, if you only have a 1.3mm or a 1.4mm tip size for your spray gun, you can reduce it down 15% to 20% than normal to get the primer thinner to spray your gun easier.
If you don’t do that, it will come out as a dry spray because the primer is too thick to blow out of your spray gun with a small tip size.

I have not seen an in depth video on primer… until now. You have a different method of teaching, I like it! Thank you.

[@williamcharles9480]

Great video, Tony. It's one thing to be taught how to do something by being told, but if you get taught by actually being shown, this makes a world of difference. I'm impressed with how you mixed that primer, it sure shows that someone knows what they're doing. ;-) Thanks for the lesson and the video,Tony, you're the best.

[@metalmonster34]

Great video, my brother! Keep them coming! I want to see more of these guns in action. I'm seriously considering getting one for base and one for clear. Cheers!

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

They are coming VERY soon! Working on them :)

[@1221Ralph]

Hey Tony this video was awesome. Very helpful. Just what I needed. Long time subscriber here and I mean YEARS.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

[@kevinc9934]

I want that x27! Love your vids tony. Havnt been painting lately. Doing mostly mechanical now but it’s almost time to prep the body for paint :)

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Can't wait to see it! Dude when you spray it, use your links to the gun for $$. Stay cool Kevin in NY!

[@nelsonramos2218]

[@jamesonstatts]

Yah that was an excellent presentation!mahalos

[@austntexan]

Can you use just straight Acetone (I think PPG rebrands it under Q30) if needed to thin epoxy primer? Great content btw!

[@NickDV007]

Great video Tony 👍👍👍 One question, what safety kit are you using and how do you get away with using 2Kpaint in your garage? 🤔 I'd be locked up if I did this in my garage over here 😢

[@MrCbell57]

My goodness, looks thin as water to me. I've never seen anyone spray to "Fill" using such a thin mix. When you said 4 coats you meant to say *8*! :) Guess makes it look better for video, eh? I've actually learned something today. Reduce the crap out of surface primer if you want it to flow. Make it 40 percent! Thanks Tony. Great video and review for Atom X and Advantage.

[@PNWresistance]

After applying a 2k sealer primer, is it best to wait and sand to 600 then base. Or should you go straight from 2k sealer primer to base coat?

[@AndrewBlackburn199]

What's better for spraying primers HVLP or LVLP ?

[@pjwolos]

Nice vid! I was wondering what vehicle that is?

[@kennychall]

Hi Tony Kenny here from down under auss, can you tell me out to spray the roof of s/wagon. I spray 1 side then go round spray other side,? What about over spray.

[@dennisgonzalez7905]

Hi. I love your job. I would like to know if its possible get a flat finish on a car by tinting a primer? It is possible or can cause any trouble? Thanks for your answer

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

You can just use a flat paint. Or a flattener..

[@dennisgonzalez7905]

Thanks

[@omarbermejo3294]

I got a truck that i did sum sanding on, should I just seal it then base paint over it or prime it sand primer , then seal then basecoat , what u recommend?

[@garypostell5268]

Well was looking for primer sealer not just primer, so I’ll keep looking?

[@BryanHemedinger]

How do you like the HOK Kosmic Show Klear?

[@mafosa8519]

What do you do when your gun paint starts to harden before your flash times?? Killer share by the way!! Larry

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Maybe your flask time is way too long. I never had that issue.

[@sticky223332]

You need to use a hotter temp/slow reducer so it doesn't dry as as fast. If it's still spraying dry you might over reduce the product slightly and remember if you have a heat lamp on it the surface area will be hot and that can dry your product faster as well.

[@tubagaming1976]

Heres an odd question for ya. I'm going to use 2k primer. The truckn I'm working on was painted with a paint brush and roller (house paint) has held up well for what it is for bout 4 /5 years. I was wondering will 2k high build primer fill the brush strokes well or do I need to sand it smooth before priming. Thanks in advance.

[@omarbermejo3294]

Better to sand it down first that will take all that off and get it smooth easy for primer to cover it once u spray

[@lanceolasiman5909]

What is your vlog cam sir ?

[@lancecarter8948]

Can i shoot 2k epoxy sealer with a 1.5 nozzle

[@2koolforyou88]

How do you calculate when adding reducer like when it says 15 -20 percent 🤔 I'm new to this I got the mixing ratio down packed just that other part with the reducer

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Sometimes reducer can be added as needed to thin the paint down a little bit. A lot of pros gauge the consistency by drips off the stick. But if you are unsure just simply follow the mixing directions in the back of the paint can. It will always tell you the mixing ratio. Check out my website to learn more we have a lot of videos on this topic as well as articles. Hope this helps my mind keep cranking.

[@2koolforyou88]

@@HowToPaintYourCar thanks man

[@meanpaintandbody]

I would like to see th x20 in action with base and clear if possible with a 1.4 thats what i purchase

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Will have more videos up soon as I continue to work on my projects!

[@wild8757]

What tip and psi would you use if you were reducing that 2K primer down to a 4-1-1 sealer?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Hey Man! Check this blog on Recommended PSI Settings For Spraying Primer, Basecoat, and Clear www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/recommended-psi-settings-for-spraying-primer-basecoat-and-clear-autobody-qa/ Hope this helps!

[@kingryan5849]

Great stuff Tony, The door jams are you going spray that also on the truck ?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

yes they will be painted!

[@None0fYourBusiness]

He was using just the tip at first. He ended up playing with the whole thing in the end though.

[@phillipboudreaux4173]

Whats the difference between 2k primer and epoxy primer which one is best

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Epoxy is more to cover raw metal surfaces. 2k primer/sealer can be used for everything (smaller metal areas included and it won't hurt you to do so).

[@randyanderson6110]

How much total primer did it take to cover that truck?

[@emhb35]

When u said use 2k as foundation primer did that mean like a sealer before paint

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

I miss used my words there. I meat using epoxy as a foundation over metal, then spraying a 2k over it. Then sand and prep for basecoat. Learn more here: www.learnautobodyandpaint.com in step-by-step through my popular vip training program, you'll love it.

[@okeim546]

Hi quick question do i need to put hardener in a 1k primer mixture

[@okeim546]

Because here on the island that i live on they use Lacquer thinner to reduce the primer and just spray it straight away

[@Woke365]

Can I mix the mineral spirits with the primer ?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Genesis! I mention that in VIP here: : www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/vip-offer/

[@maxie9506]

I heard epoxy is hard to sand and it was recommended I go to 2k primer even on bare metal. Is that still ok?

[@samsbogh9361]

You don't sand epoxy

[@omarbermejo3294]

Yes its ok

[@robormiston2841]

If you pull the trigger while unsrewing the tip it won't wear into the needle.

[@garyboi6255]

Hell yeahh pour the 🍺 😂😂

[@ijabbs143]

No paint strainer?

[@keystastanciel-tx3jl]

What tip size do you use for primer sealer.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Hey Man! I am always using Atom X88 Spray Gun with a 1.4 tip - Check out www.zoolaa.com/ for Top Quality Spray Guns this is an LVLP gun and it sprays nicely at 14-16 PSI (low overspray gun)

[@ronanmcgrath1983]

What is the air pressure setting for a conventional spray gun?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Hey Ronan! This video might help www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/psi-settings-for-spraying-cars-hvlp-and-lvlp-spray-gun-settings/

[@bigliks6961]

Hear you jamming in the background

[@randyanderson6110]

Do you ever use a sealer before base?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Yes of course. And it depends on your budget/time frame, and what kind of job you want to get out. Learn more here: learnautobodyandpaint.com

[@meanpaintandbody]

I did not see the x27 only x20 and x21 i purchase the x20 1.4 to try it out if ita good i would like a clear only gun would u recommend the x20 or x21 and hvlp or lvlp mp?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Hey man, we currently just have the X20, X21 and the Mini X16. All the Atom Spray Guns are great guns. If you're doing overall car painting, go with the Atom X20 or X21.. The Mini X16 are for great for smaller projects. :)

[@meanpaintandbody]

BOSS PAINTER - Learn Auto Body And Paint! for clear is hvlp better or mp hvlp i have used rp from sata works perfect for clear i dont know if mp is about the same

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

The www.zoolaa.com/collections/atom-series-spray-guns-pre-order/products/atom-x20-professional-spray-gun is more of a clearcoat only spray gun. Just like the SATA RP. But you can also lay basecoat no problem. Works just fine spraying both materials.

[@meanpaintandbody]

BOSS PAINTER - Learn Auto Body And Paint! i just tried the x20 1.4 hvlp it works perfect for base and pearl for clear its a b- it gives the supernova a good fight compared fromm 800 to 300 BUT the only bad thing is at higher psi (28-30) uses more material will try the lvlp mp when i get more money but ill get the x21 to have 2 different color guns

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Elchingon_92 honestly I think the X 20 is a fabulous gun. If I were you I would wait till the ATOM X27 comes out in about two months. It will give the SATA 5000 a good run for its money.

[@Disassemblyguru]

Is it necessary to Prime a vehicle inside a paint booth?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

No. You should go to my channel and watch the latest video on a new project. It’s on a 1999 Chevy express van I’m giving away a free course also learnautobodyandpaint.com/goodvan

[@semihyilmaz4699]

@@HowToPaintYourCar Thank you 🙏

[@sticky223332]

Why not just use a red scotch brite rather than 400 wet? Easier to sand and blow off, you don't have all that sanding slop afterwards to clean up.

[@Mr40Richyrich]

What about a 1.7?
