Look no further than the Roberlo P555 High Build 4:1 2K DTM Auto Primer in Grey! This premium kit is designed for direct-to-metal (DTM) application, making it ideal for body shops, DIY enthusiasts, and professional painters who demand superior adhesion, hiding power, and protection.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • High Build Formula: Provides excellent filling capabilities to cover surface imperfections, scratches, and minor dents, reducing the need for additional body filler.
  • Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Application: Can be applied straight onto bare metal, electro-coated surfaces, or previously painted areas without needing an additional etch primer – saving you time and materials.
  • Superior Adhesion and Protection: Offers outstanding grip on various substrates, including steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, and plastics, while providing anticorrosive properties to guard against rust and environmental damage.
  • High Hiding Power: The grey color ensures optimal coverage and opacity, helping to achieve even color matching with your final paint job.
  • 2K Acrylic Technology: High solids (HS) content for better build-up per coat, faster drying, and reduced VOC emissions compared to traditional primers.
  • Versatile Use: Perfect for automotive, truck, motorcycle, or industrial applications. Easy to sand for a smooth surface ready for basecoat or topcoat.

How to Use This Product (Step-by-Step Instructions):

For best results, always follow these guidelines based on standard application practices for 4:1 2K acrylic primers. Consult the technical data sheet for any specific updates.

  1. Surface Preparation: Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove all rust, old paint, grease, oil, dust, and contaminants using a degreaser or solvent. Sand the area to P80-P180 grit for bare metal or P220-P320 for existing coatings. Wipe down with a tack cloth to ensure no residue remains.
  2. Mixing: Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Mix 4 parts P555 primer to 1 part hardener by volume (no thinner required for standard high-build application, but up to 10-15% reducer can be added if needed for better flow – check viscosity). Use a mixing cup for accuracy. Pot life is typically 1-2 hours at 70°F (21°C), so mix only what you'll use immediately.
  3. Application: Use a spray gun with a 1.6-2.0 mm nozzle for optimal results. Apply 2-3 medium coats, allowing 5-10 minutes flash-off time between coats. Recommended gun pressure: 25-35 PSI at the gun. Achieve a dry film thickness of 2-4 mils per coat. Apply in a well-ventilated area or spray booth.
  4. Drying and Sanding: Air dry at 70°F (21°C) for 30-60 minutes per coat, or force dry at 140°F (60°C) for 20-30 minutes. Once fully cured (2-4 hours), sand with P320-P500 grit paper to level and smooth. Degrease again before applying basecoat or topcoat.
  5. Cleanup and Storage: Clean equipment immediately with thinner or acetone. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Safety Precautions: This is a two-component product – wear appropriate PPE including gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator with organic vapor cartridges. Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of vapors. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full hazard information.
