Auto Body Primer Prep – Why Epoxy Comes Before Polyester

Proper primer prep is critical to getting a straight, long-lasting paint job. In this video, I explain why epoxy primer should be applied before polyester primer and how this sequence creates a stable foundation for body work and paint. Many DIY restorations skip epoxy or apply primers in the wrong order, which can lead to adhesion problems, shrinkage, and paint failure later. Understanding how these primers work together will help you get professional results that last. In this video you’ll learn: ✔️ Why epoxy primer is applied to bare metal first ✔️ The purpose of polyester primer in body work ✔️ Why polyester primer should not go directly on bare metal ✔️ Proper prep before spraying primer ✔️ Mixing and spraying techniques ✔️ How epoxy seals the metal and improves adhesion ✔️ How polyester primer helps straighten panels during blocking Using the right primer at the right stage is one of the biggest differences between an average paint job and professional results. If you're restoring a classic car or prepping a project for paint, understanding this process will help you avoid costly mistakes and rework. #AutoBody #EpoxyPrimer #PolyesterPrimer #CarRestoration #PaintPrep #DIYAutoBody #BlockSanding Want to see this build from the beginning?    • 1968 Firebird Restoration project flamborg...   Like what you see?
