White Primer

Hey guys, I'm going the flat white with red wheels/accents route on my Buick, what are some white primer/sealers available?

 

Sure you want primer? If you're gonna park your car in the sun much, I'd strongly suggest flattened white paint.

If you're planning on re-spraying the car fairly soon, there's a white version of DP90. Just change the "90" part to a different number... can't remember which it is. But DP fades the fastest of any primer I've seen.

PPG's K36 is an off-white gray. It's a surfacer that sands nice, and I like the way it shoots. It's what is on my car around the frenched lights in this pic:

 

I plan to eventually paint it white, but want the same effect until I have the time to do the bodywork.

I wonder, if white primer faded, would anyone notice?

 

yea, what Slide said.
Preferably K 38 (the replacement for 36). Get it covered in that, then a coat of DPLF white(it's either DPLF 48 or 50, I forget, and I don't wanna walk to the back of the shop to find out) FWIW, white epoxy don't cover worth a damn, so light gray primer all over first will help take less epoxy to get the desired result.

 

DP40 green, like an army drab
DP48 white
DP50 gray
DP60 blue, pale smurf
DP90 black

 

have you checked out kustom shop hot rod flatz,its not a primer but its pre mixed and ready to spray,an e-bay store called auto body depot is where I saw the stuff at,was think'n about try'n some out

 

i think a bigger issue than fading, is with white primer, if you have dirty hands and even LOOK at your car, it will leave greazy fingerprints!

 

My bud used Dupont white with a flattener. It doesn't collect smudge as bad and it is sealed. I used ppg and had the paint store make it flat (purple) it is nice as hell. I would use paint instead of primer. At least you know it is sealed when you are done. You think body work is a ***** wait till next time.

 

Dupont "Corlar" is a 2 part epoxy primer. Comes in light grey, which in reality is closer to white than grey. I used to use it for pastel color primer (with toner added). Epoxy is pretty water resistant, has a bit of gloss, which makes it easier to clean than other primers.

 

good info, thanks guys.

 

Spiezhecker makes an awsome primer any color you want. It is activated with a catalyst , preventing it from fading or absorbing moister it is called Spectro surfacer. Look at Nick32vic's car.
