Plastic Primer for optimal adhesion on Plastic
Plastic Primer is necessary when you want to apply paint or lacquer to plastic. By nature, plastic is smooth and non-porous. This means that ordinary paint or car paint without primer adheres poorly. By using a good plastic primer, you create a perfect surface for a durable finish. This makes a plastic primer ideal as a primer for use on a plastic bumper, spoiler, mirror cover or other plastic surfaces. At CROP, you enjoy a wide selection of high-quality plastic primers that adhere to all types of plastic. Explore the range at NonPaints.com.
What is a plastic primer?
A plastic primer, also known as plastic primer, is a transparent primer designed specifically for use plastic substrates. This adhesive primer ensures that lacquer or paint will adhere well and will not peel off. Plastic primers are always 1K products, which means they are ready to use and dry quickly. This means that there is no such thing as a 2K plastic primer. The quick drying time of plastic primer allows you to continue working quickly on your paint project.
Why is primer on plastic necessary?
Plastic is a difficult surface when it comes to paint or lacquer adhesion. Without primer, paint and lacquer can start to peel, flake or cover poorly. A plastic primer ensures a good adhesive, strong bond between the plastic and the paint layer. This makes the final finish more durable and professional. This applies to car parts as well as other plastic objects and items.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is primer spray paint?
What do you use primer spray paint for?
How long should primer dry?
Do you need to sand primer
Once the primer is dry, you need to sand it. Sanding the primer smooths the surface and lightly roughens the primer layer. This helps the color car paint or 2K paint adhere better to the primer. If you don’t sand the primer, the paint will not adhere as well to the base coat.
Is primer necessary to use?
Basically, primer is necessary to ensure the paint adheres to the surface according to the RAL number. However, if you're spraying this paint over existing paint that is already in good condition, it is not necessary to use a primer. If you're unsure whether a bonding primer is needed, we always recommend using it! Sand off any loose paint first and apply a primer for the best adhesion and durability of the spray paint.
Which color primer should I use?
For some car paint colors, it's important to use the right color primer. In this case, grey primer is the most commonly chosen color for the base coat.
Do you need primer over rust converter?
No, no primer is needed over a rust converter. As the name suggests, it encapsulates and transforms the rust into a primer-like layer, preventing further rusting of the surface. You can directly apply car paint, 2K paint, or a coating over a rust converter.
Do you use filler or primer first?
Primer ensures the adhesion of the color paint you want to spray. For this reason, you apply filler first and then primer, so that the color paint adheres properly to the primer.
