Primer Sealer VS High Build Primer, KNOW the Difference and When to Use Which

[@lousasslejr.4690]

with the weather getting warmer and alot of us painting in garages, would love to see more at home videos!

[@ernestdouglas8489]

Brian, you are an amazing teacher. I have been watching your videos for a while and I have learned so much. I was able to paint my wife's silver rav4. You rock man.

Don't look any where else He's the greatest instructor! 😉

[@DavidHernandez-my9zw]

Another very good reason to use sealer is it helps lock down any previous bodywork. Especially important on used panels.

[@dazzamac70]

Wow, I wish I knew this before I attempted to fix the roof of my Bimmer (Titanium Silver), yes the metallic particles highlight everything, including sanding scratches and the finest imperfections where the primer meets the paint!!!

Glad you like. It sounds a bit weird to me but if you like it I will do it more !

Sealer is your friend,i have used the same brand as you are since 1993!!! Great Products!!!

[@gordikcarro5247]

I have a car that has body filler on one fender, hood, behind door, and both quarter panels as well as two new quarter panels, two new doors, new front bumper. Should I use high build primer over the body filler and then seal the rest?

[@chromecatfishcharters8765]

Am I the only one that confused about the products used? Are you making a sealer out of paint itself buy just adding sealer harder and activator? Oris the sealant actually a sealant then you add the sealer activator and hardner?

[@313istheD]

Hey! I’m new to channel but am actually really enjoying and learning but this video showed you contradicting a previous video? I am pointing out because I actually found advice in other video rock solid. The advice was to ensure you spray sides of a car in sections but to never stop over a handle to prevent drips. Yet, it appears you stop over handles? I know you’re the pro but us amateurs actually are watching and learning. Just a FYI but your work rocks and I have so many questions that you’ll surely hear from me again.

[@chrisczarnik3439]

Perfection is the name of the game with you Brian. This car just looks incredible. From Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

[@newagetemplar6100]

I’ve had issues before where aerosol primer or base coat has been used 😵‍💫. This then leads to a crazed edge that you will always be chasing. Hence the need for sealer in this scenario. Exactly why I try not to touch metallics. 🫢 Admittedly I still use 2k , generally stick to solid colours and don’t use base coat and lacquer just a gloss top coat . For better or for worse I still prefer to give a car a good coat of primer, flat off and then a first coat of colour, that way it’s so much easier to see any imperfections especially when filler has been used as it has a tendency to shrink or wear away quicker than steel , leaving a low spot. it also reduces the chance of missing awkward spots. After the paint has cured, flat off and give it a final colour coat . Sometimes I don’t even use primer at all if no steel is exposed . Admittedly I only generally paint my own stuff and race cars still manage a good finish so luckily have the option of yeah that’s ok . Painting is an art and a very skilled underrated profession .

[@jacobnbr11]

You're A great instructor, Brian. Great blend as always. Looks great!

My favorites base blender is nothing more than the binder they put in base. The white milky stuff. Works awesome ! I use it anytime on tricky colors like Metallics & that sort.

Absolutely great way to learn. You are top man!!! Explanation perfect. I wish you had more videos on hvlp machines and guns you use. And how to use.

[@a666n]

Brian, you are an amazing teacher. I would like to ask, can you apply the same methods of waterborne to solvent or is there a big difference in application and or technique?

[@judih.8754]

Brian, great content as usual. Your explanation was super clear. And the noise canceling was nice although I don't mind the swishing of the gun. Thanks!

[@joseph7105]

Great tip on applying the clear base directly after the sealer. definitely going to give this a go on tomorrow's job.

[@PaintSociety]

Good luck!

[@bearfnf4743]

great video, without noise canceling was good, with noise canceling was not bad but I think you don't need to talk as loud with the noise canceling on. You do a good job with audio either way. it is nice to be able to hear the spray gun in the background, help to hear how you are pulling the trigger.

[@darylgoodgame7292]

Hey Brian, love the channel and the informative content you give us. Question: I'm doing a full bare metal resto, can I apply etch primer then body filler and finish with epoxy primer?? What should be the best sequence? Thanks, Daryl

[@novabig]

Another great video Brian. Had I had an instructor like you I would have probably had a different career. Great instructor!

[@PaintSociety]

Wow, thanks!

[@scotterwood4]

I like the noise cancelling. 👍🏻

[@tonylewis4661]

So here is my project. MIL 2004 Toyota with failed clear coat on top and trunk. Planning to take down to base metal then primer/sealer. However, majority of primers are gray, and color is dark red metallic. Will use of gray primer require more basecoat paint? Can you get red primer with sealer? No scratches, body work or Bondo. Not seeking perfection but do want it to be in good shape for next 3+ years

[@soundboydesign1373]

Yes B! I started w ya on your spray can vids...easy to keep up w you now...appreciate the knowledge...nice ebb n flow w the gun...cheers mate

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you!

[@adamdeaguero2903]

Good job, but you should show how to clean with wax and grease remover before touching your guns, and maybe show tacking after you spray your sealer especially for a blend job for the novice painter.

[@Sigspearthumb1]

I have a question for you Brian. I hear you say all the time about using extra slow or slow reducer. I live in PA and sometimes it gets pretty cold here. My garage is not heated with the exception of a space heater and then a few propane heaters. But even with that the metal on the car itself never really gets real warm. What reducer would you recommend? Love your videos by the way.

[@ExFilHobbies]

Great nstructions on primer vs sealer. I have been interested in this and it is very clear the difference 👍

[@johnnyblue4799]

The noise cancelling is good... the paint job even better! :)

Well Brian, I blew it on the hood for my digeline. I have wet sanded it down but still looks blotchy. I was thinking of hitting it hard with 600 ordering a quart of duplicolor taffeta white premixed and grabbing a spray gun from harmor freight and spraying it at home. Ideas?

[@Ali-p5p1e]

Hey Brian can I use sealant over large areas of body filler?

[@snapfly7]

When I spray multiple parts with sealer or primer in the booth, by the time I get to the last couple parts they will have overspray dust on them. Should I tack rag it before spraying the primer or not worry about it?

[@danlove4270]

seemed like you put the clear base over the fresh sealer without waiting for the sealer to flash off. Sometimes I get bleedthrough of the sealer solvents into the topcoat if dont give sealer enough time to flash. Maybe it dont matter with clear base? Love this channel!

[@PaintSociety]

you have to put it on ASAP otherwise it won’t do the job. We’re dealing with extreme heat and Florida so the edges dry extremely quick. Remember you can always lightly sand after it it Dries.

[@Working-man-p9j]

Brian I used Eastwood Epoxy prime as a sealer is it normal for it to be soft. I can topcoat it when soft.

[@meguinness1116]

Im using the UPOL high build primer/sealer with 4-1-2.5 mixing ratio....how long should i wait before applying base coat over it? Thanks

[@rtcar6990]

Is clear base just regular clear coat you intend to spray over or is clear base some different product to buy ??? And noise cancelling is good.

¡GREAT MASTER AND GREAT WOR ! THANK YOU TEACHER FOR THIS VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM LIMA PERU.

[@paintgod4]

Sealer has one primary purpose and two added benefits. Sealer provides a uniform substrate to apply system to. Those benefits shown well here. As a non sanding, wet on wet foundation on OEM E Coated rigid parts. If you're not utilizing this on your OE repair parts, you are wasting significant time and materials, and dirt too. Check for Non Sanding options in all paint lines at this point. And the third benefit is in color availability , or mixed shades of gray, enabling exact color match for some transparent pearls. Always choose slowest hardener and reducer options for your brand of Sealer, as this will allow a longer flash between Sealer and color. Above 80 degrees using medium or fast components , you have about an hour to get color on or lifting occurs. Slower components increases that window to 4 hours. Last, I saw so many techs out there using retired primer guns, clear guns anything but a same quality gun like their color and clear guns. Sealer will be the foundation of the job, so theoretically should use your n best weapon right? God Bless, great video

[@kenmastersmaster]

What's that about lifting after an hour???

[@dcmbrown]

Got a weird question maybe. I've been seeing a lot of YT shorts of spray guns with the built in (sun?) lights. What do you think of them? Would you use one or do you consider them a gimmick? It seems like you'd get better use of one of those sun lights afterwards. You don't really have enough time to examine an area while spraying. It just seems like unnecessary heft to the spray gun while spraying.

[@PaintSociety]

They work great. Also if you have limited lightning. They help. No gimmick

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Brian, I notice you are not wearing a full face mask respirator. Is this typical for you? Which mask is the you are wearing? In what situations are you choosing to wear full face masks? What would you recommend for spraying epoxy primers? If you did a video on PPE it would help. I know you can't be responsible for any choices made but it would still be a great topic to cover. If you have a video already I will look for it. Thanks for the great explanation for the sealer VS primer. Got a Paint Society suit today to support the channel.

[@OffRoadAdventureMadness]

He does this so he can talk in his videos easier we should all be wearing full face respirators when spray painting.

In the end I saw how the front plastic bumper is not matching the hood color. Wouldn't be better idea to blend the color somehow on the front bumper also? As much as you guys try to match the paint, it seems it's also not always perfect for you as well. Matching a paint is a hardest level of difficulty i assume. Otherwise it looks like a quality job :)
