What is necessary prior to applying body paint?

For the best results, the surface should be coated with a high-build sand-able primer prior to applying the desired automotive finish paint. Always follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of primers, sealers, and finish paints for a proper application. Once a Rust Bullet coating has dried for at least 24 hours, a primer may be applied directly to the Rust Bullet coating after scuffing with 80-100 grit sandpaper.
