Primer & Surface Preparation

Surface preparation affects paint finish and durability. Before paint, the surface must be cleaned, repaired, sanded and prepared according to the panel condition.

Preparation steps

• Cleaning old dust, grease and contamination
• Sanding damaged areas
• Body filler where required
• Primer application
• Final sanding before base coat

Why it matters

Poor preparation can cause visible marks, uneven finish or paint adhesion issues. Inspection decides the correct preparation method.
