Be honest, how many people are sealing or priming new parts? I’m guilty of painting over a few e-coats myself, how about you?
I usually do, their is that odd pos used car the gets by without it.
I almost always seal new parts, especially hoods & fenders. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I seal all new parts. Sometimes, I don’t seal parts that wouldn’t get exposed to human eye.
tried it on a few seen the results an wouldnt even do it on used car work:P
We use to spray to the e coat directly but the hoods would usually chip and it would be a guaranteed re do<now we seal everything.I recommend using sealer or 2k primer on new parts.
how about bumper covers? you seal those ??? i always do even though they told me we didnt have to but if ya dont watch out!!! ive gotten down to the point that i dont beleive half the shit some paint reps tell me:dry: :dry: :dry:
we sand and seal all new parts with epoxy.
I like a light gray like the factory uses … helps with color match B)
sand and seal. all paint is activated.

Are they providing a warranty? If so, do exactly as the paint company indicates, otherwise – no warranty.
In my experience I have found that half the time the reps advice contradicts the paint companies recommendations.
ive been burned a couple of times but i know what works……thank god;)

i seal all new parts ..always..if you look carefully at the surface the e-coat is not applied evenly and inconsistanatly on the edges..also the packaging sometimes will leave hard markes on surface .so any sanding that is done will not leave enough mil coverage ..so sealing becomes necessary in my opinionB) B) B) B) B) B) B) B) B)
what are your fav sealers and why?
