guys ,


Im going to repaint my bumper and they said they'll prime it and wax it first before repaint it . question is , how ill i know whether they really wax it and prime it or just repaint it right away w/o do all those stuff first ( wax , prime) ??
ne help will be greatly appreciated .

Peace,

 

um....wax it? do you mean sand it?

 

yup2 u rite , sand it , prime it ..
i dont know bout these thats y i ask u guys

 

You can not paint over a slick painted surface, they will scuff the surface, sand it, and prime it before repainting any area, paint has to have a slightly rough surface to bond to, paint will not bond to a smooth waxed surface.

You will be fine, just give it to the body shop people and let them do their thing.........

 

how do we know if they sand and prime it before paint it or not ?
can we tell from the way it looks ?

Thanks for the help , really appreciate that .

 

I don't know any other way to tell you this, if they are a body shop they of course will know to sand and prime any surface they are going to spray.

If the paint sticks, then they did the proper prep, if it peels and flakes off then they did not.................

Why are you asking this, do you have doubts about the work this body shop performs???

 

they have warranty right? like what Kevin said if they dont sand it then it'll peel off after a few weeks or months. if they know what they're doing then they need to sand the clear coat then prime it.

 

Yea im kinda worried since we can't tell at THAT time right away whether they sand and prime it or not before they paint it .
but , yeah , thanks so much guys for the info , really appreciate it
