Hi all,

I bought SEM trim paint in a gallon can. Will use my air compressor to paint on.

Other than cleaning the areas good and using degreaser I just spray the stuff on??

The can also write can be used on metals, stainless steel. For the window trim, I have it sanded down to bare stainless, I just spray it on, no primer needed correct??

I'd suggest using SEM primer for that first before the topcoat.

The primer is for just the stainless window trim or the fiberglass body also?

Thank you,

So what ia everyone else's experience with SEM trim, as far as using it on parts and the car body?

Primer on just the stainless??

Ideally you should primer both. The fiberglass tends to have many imperfections that the primer does a much better job of hiding. SEM black alone is very thin and would take many coats to achieve the same effect as one coat of the primer.

Thank you Rob!! I was looking at primers on Summit Racing, Flexible primer surface good to use? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/smm-39221

If you can also ask your guy about bringing in my bumpers for painting when I pick up my stuff from your place.

Thank you!!

Flexible is Ok but not neccesary for inflexible surfaces like fiberglass and stainless.
