Product Overview: Transform your automotive restoration or repair project with Autobahn's premium AP8377 DTM Epoxy Primer! This high-quality, professional-grade epoxy primer is specifically engineered to provide superior adhesion, corrosion resistance, and a flawless foundation for basecoat and clear coat applications. Perfect for Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, and other vehicles, whether you're touching up bare metal, repainting panels, or executing a complete respray. This convenient 1:1 mix GALLON KIT (128 fl oz total) delivers excellent coverage, rapid curing, and a factory-like appearance. Ideal for larger jobs, multiple applications, or professional auto body shops and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
Key Features & Benefits:
Advanced DTM Formula: Direct-to-Metal epoxy technology eliminates the need for additional sealers on bare metal, bare aluminum, and previously primed surfaces, saving time and materials.
1:1 Mix Ratio: Simple, convenient mixing—combine equal parts primer and hardener for consistent results every time. Kit includes both components.
Superior Adhesion & Protection: Two-part epoxy formula bonds aggressively to metal, plastic, and fiberglass. Exceptional corrosion resistance and chemical durability when properly topcoated.
Fast Cure Time: Tack-free in 30-60 minutes; ready for basecoat application in 2-4 hours, accelerating project completion.
Versatile Use: Suitable for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles. Excellent for professional shops or experienced DIY enthusiasts tackling larger projects.
Generous Coverage: One gallon kit covers approximately 250-400 sq ft (depending on application method and coats), making it cost-effective for substantial work.
Made in the USA: Autobahn primers manufactured with premium-tier ingredients for consistent quality and proven reliability.
Specifications:
Type: 2K DTM Epoxy Primer (requires basecoat and clear coat topcoat)
Mix Ratio: 1:1 (primer to hardener)
Size: 1 Gallon Kit (128 fl oz total)
Color: White
VOC Compliant: Meets environmental standards in most regions (verify local regulations).
Shelf Life: Up to 2 years unopened; 6-8 hours after mixing.
Not Included: Reducer/thinner, basecoat, clear coat, or application tools—sold separately.
Application Instructions: For optimal results, follow these steps carefully. Always work in a well-ventilated area, wear full protective gear (gloves, respirator, goggles), and test on a small area first. This primer is for professional or experienced use only—consult a specialist if you're new to automotive painting.
Surface Preparation:
Clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water, then degrease using a wax and grease remover.
Sand bare metal with 180-220 grit sandpaper; use 400-600 grit for previously painted surfaces to promote adhesion.
Remove all dust with a tack cloth.
Mask off surrounding areas to prevent overspray.
Mixing:
Combine equal parts primer and hardener (1:1 ratio) in a clean container. Stir thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until uniform.
Do not thin for spray application unless necessary for your specific equipment (consult technical data sheet for details).
Use mixed primer within 6-8 hours; do not store mixed product.
Application:
Use an HVLP spray gun with a 1.3-1.5mm tip at 45-55 PSI for best results.
Apply 2-3 medium coats, allowing 15-20 minutes between coats for flash-off.
Ideal temperature: 70-80°F (21-27°C) with 40-60% humidity.
Dry time: Tack-free in 30-60 minutes; ready for basecoat in 2-4 hours at 70°F (longer in cooler conditions).
Topcoating:
Once dry, lightly sand with 400-600 grit sandpaper and tack cloth before applying basecoat.
Apply your chosen basecoat (solvent-based or waterborne) per its instructions.
Finish with a compatible 2K clear coat for UV protection and gloss.
Allow full cure (24-48 hours) before polishing or exposure to elements.
Cleanup & Safety:
Clean tools immediately with lacquer thinner or acetone before primer hardens.
Warnings: Flammable—keep away from heat and ignition sources. Harmful or fatal if inhaled. Use only in well-ventilated areas or with approved respirator. Do not swallow. Dispose of waste per local hazardous material regulations. Not for household use. Keep out of reach of children.
Shipping & Handling:
Ships via ground only due to hazardous materials regulations (no air shipping).
Continental US shipping available; contact for international rates.
Item is new, sealed, and ready to ship within 1-2 business days.
