Discover the Montana Colors Grey Filler Primer Spray

WHAT IS FILLER PRIMER? 

Filler primer is a product that is used to repair body paint, as the layer that’s applied just before the final coat of paint. The function of the filler is to level the surface, by either covering small bumps on the surface of the bodywork or areas that have been repaired with putty. It produces a homogeneous result that allows you to apply paint perfectly without losing gloss and avoiding unevenness, roughness or cracking. 

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMER AND FILLER PAINT?

The difference between filler and primer is basically the following: primers are mainly designed to improve the grip of the paint, as well as having special properties in some cases like an anti rust primer. Filler primer, on the other hand, is a type of primer with specific qualities that has the function of levelling the surface, as well as improving the adhesion of the final coat of paint. Using a filler primer spray provides a uniform finish as smooth as possible. To obtain the most professional results, you should polish the filler to perfect its finish.
 

How do I know whether to use a primer or a filler primer?

Primers are used on surfaces that paint doesn’t stick to very well, whereas fillers are for jobs that involve smoothing over the surface, such as car body repairs: 

-Repairing cracks or scratches

-Covering putty used to seal bumps or dents

-Unifies the bodywork finish on chipped or treated parts 

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE FILLER PRIMER SPRAY? 

To get the best results, fillers should be sprayed on. Given how expensive the process can be at a professional workshop, you’ll be glad to know that Montana Colors offers the product and the possibility of using it yourself at home, packaged in a handy 400 ml spray format. The ideal tool to carry out small superficial repairs without having to pay for professional services.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MTN PRO GREY PRIMER PAINT

The Montana Colors grey filler is formulated with modified nitro-alchemical resins that give it high thickness, and it’s easy to paint over. Although MTN PRO Spray Filler is designed for body repairs, it’s also a primer filler for plastics - easy to sand and fast drying. 

HOW TO USE THE GREY PRIMER SPRAY PAINT 

To apply the MTN PRO Grey Primer, you need to shake the can for one minute from the moment you have heard the noise of the mixing ball. By trying out the product on a test surface, you can become better acquainted with the flow of the spray. Next, apply the spray from a distance of about 20 cm. One or two coats will be enough, with 10 minutes between coats. After two hours of drying, the result can be sanded down so that the finish is ready to be painted with the final coat.
