LOOGLE Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Purchased my first 510 a few months ago and was told "it's basically a primer coat". Paint and body are farthest from my wheelhouse and I'd like take care of whats on there appropriately until I have a chance (the funds) to address it properly. I love the ratty look with the original blue popping through but the rust marks are hard to keep from getting worse. I'd throw a coat of compound/wax on it (which I tried on the roof) but I know thats a big no-no with primers. Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 How flat is the sheen an how rough the surface? Not easy to tell on the computer, but at first glance it doesn't look like primer to me. Quote Link to comment
LOOGLE Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 It's definitely not matte like the "primer grey" that I'm used to seeing. More of a satin that I could get semi glossy with compound/wax. Could never see it getting a mirror like finish. The surface is rough in spots but that looks to me to be contaminants (dirt) in the paint. Theres also streak marks that is maybe sanded filler underneath. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Looks like an epoxy sealer/primer to me, but I'm also not a painter Quote Link to comment
