I don't need primer for Brightside correct?

How has your Brightside held up without primer?? For people who have experience..



YES AND NO... it depends on the body surface you are going to paint.

If you have bondo work... then primer the body. Bondo sucks in paint like a thirsty wall.

If you are just scruffing the original paint on your car... then you can probably go straight to paint.

If you have a car of many colors ( where body parts of different colors have been installed on your car ) then get a primer on there to give one uniform starting color upon which to apply your paint color.

If your final prep work on the body still shows sanding scratches... then you might want to go with a primer layer just to fill in the scratches and to give yourself a better chance at beginning the paint job on as smooth a surface as possible.

If you have bared metal... the choice is yours. All three paints can be applied directly to bared metal... or you can go 'old school' and primer just to absolutely ensure that those bare metal sections will not later have rust problems.

It all really depends on where your body is at...
