Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a primer before using Chassis Armor – 2K Aerosol?
✅ No primer is required! This product is designed to be applied direct-to-metal (DTM). It provides superior adhesion, extreme corrosion resistance, and a durable finish without an adhesion promoter.
Q: How many coats should I apply?
✅ We recommend 3 medium coats with ~5 minutes flash time between each coat. This ensures full coverage, maximum protection, and a uniform finish.
