Chris Evans Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Does anyone use a sealer after your done sanding and priming, like when your ready to apply your color if so what kind works. Thanks guys.Chris,model-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkocamaro Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Chris, just speaking for myself, no sealer. The color coat should have something to bite into, and if you put a sealcoat(clear of any finish)on the car, you should scuff it up before the color coat, so that would be a wasted step.

Cato Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Future makes a good barrier under any type of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 In more than 40 years doing stuff, I've yet to find the need for sealer on real cars or models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I've airbrushed PPG automotive sealer before lacquer top coats with no regret. - it's makes a barrier so the lacquer does not harm the plastic - finer grain/texture and less thickness than primers like Plasti-Kote gray T-235 - straight from the can, no sanding before color coats, and quick drying.

Snake45 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 In more than 40 years doing stuff, I've yet to find the need for sealer on real cars or models.Me neither. Except of course for primer to protect the plastic from "hot" paints, but I consider that a different subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I just used 2 coats of Future on a Bondo spot on a fully painted panel. Complete hiding and no issues. Panel looks perfect now. It may be 'wrong' but I use what I recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've heard of using a sealer to keep red or yellow plastic from bleeding through, but never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
