I am painting a jeep fiber glass jeep hard top. Do I need to use a primer first before the bed liner paint

Suggest you contact Rust-Oleum for technical questions. However, I would personally use the product if the fiber glass top has already been primed and painted with automotive paint.

Yes. I would definetely recomend Rustoleum self etching primer. Worked great for me!

I highly recommend that when you use Al's HNR under Al's Liner that after applying HNR, allow it to dry for 24 hours. Then, use Prime Bond Adhesion Promoter over the HNR before spraying Al's Liner as the Top Coat for optimal adhesion. Be sure to prep the surface really good and clean thoroughly. Also, if you have any bare metal you should apply a good primer before coating with HNR or Al's Liner bed liner. I use the texture spray gun to achieve the best results.

I think it was supposed to. I bought high quality paint and was okay with primer but had problems getting the paint to go. The paint store said that despite claims from manufacturer I probably needed to buy the thinning additives-decided to give up at that point. In addition, you really need to buy different tips for different applications and each one is $30-$40 .

Try a spot were it cannot be seen like door jam but it takes off about of paint so if primer is gray you may not know are going down to the primer unitil

Liner first then mudflaps. Be sure to screw liner in so it won't move around.

I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered... » Read More I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again « Show Less

If you are using it inside , I Do Not recommend it!!! We used Sherman Williams paint with primer with no thinning and it worked good but the over spray is terrible!! The snoozle where paint comes out will dry fast, need a wet cloth to wipe it and to cover while refilling

With the proper primer, yes. I did not paint my product. But I use to be a professional painter. Kilz is a good primer to use. It is sold in an aerosol can or paint can be brushed on. it all depends on what you're using it for

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

not really. you'd have to glop it on and it streaks. if you primed the buckets first... any white semi gloss to flat inside/outside primer... though i find valtex ... or brehr ... multipurpose latex primer to work really well as it us made to cover mold, rust, water stains... it sticks and covers with 1 coat. Martha Stewart acrylic paint will then stick to the dried primer

Over the winter, we sanded the aluminum rims to the window screens on our trawler because the original paint had peeled off in several places where the stainless steel screws met the aluminum. We then cleaned it with mineral spirits and a tack cloth. We put on one layer of this primer, then followed up the primer with the "above the water" marine paint. Application was best with small sponge brushes in these narrow areas. One coat of primer and 2-3 coats of paint. The result so far are good.

No need for any primer, ever. This paint is an Urethane-acrylic formula. It adheres to "hard-to-stick" surfaces, including polyurethane and varnish, without a primer. Use foam brushes. If 2 coats are desired, wait 24 hours, although it will be dry to touch after an hour or so. Don't rush to get to the second coat because you may have "draping effect." Light sanding with a high # black sandpaper followed by a tack cloth to remove all dust. If done well, this paint lasts almost forever, so take your time.

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application.Hope this helps.

I will tell you one thing. do no skimp on prep time. If you can, san all of the old paint off first. It is not easy, but this is the only way to get a factory finish. might i suggest a wire wheel on a drill, then after that , smooth out the metal o it is realatively smooth. When you now paint it, make sure you do noy let the nozzle get to close to prevent runs, if ny type of imperfections were to happen, then wait for the taint to dry, then sand the imperfevt area, then put on at leaaaat two thinne coats rather than one Robert thicke coat

I painted an entire jeep cherokee with one kit. It was thin, but I was going for coverage, not durability. You should be fine using one kit
