2k Acrylic Primer

A primer is an important preliminary process to achieve the best possible result. In addition to giving a much more professional appearance, using primer also gives a harder finish.

Although usually the primer is applied just before the painting process, 2k acrylic primer is an all-in-one primer giving you a finished look. This means you’ll save time and money without sacrificing the end result.

The ‘k’ in 2k primer stands for component, but in Europe it is spelled with a ‘k’. A 1k primer means only one component, so only the primer is needed to spray a panel. A 2k acrylic primer means two different components, so the primer and an activator is needed before spraying on a panel.

2k acrylic primer is a two-component product, however it needs a hardener and thinner with mixing ratio of 4:1:1. The 2k acrylic primer is much more durable than the 1k.

Be aware that 2k primer once mixed contains isocyanate meaning the correct RPE must be used.

    FAQs

    1. Is 2K acrylic primer clear?

    2K acrylic primers are not clear. They are available in opaque greys, whites and blacks. However, once you apply the 2K acrylic paint, you will no longer see the primer.

    2. Why do I need a 2K acrylic primer?

    Primers ensure your surface is fully prepared to be painted on, providing longevity and durability. Without a matching 2K acrylic primer, your 2K paint won’t be up to standard.

    3. What is the difference between normal and 2K acrylic primer?

    Both regular and 2K acrylic primers prep the surface for paint, 2K is much more hardwearing and is suitable for stronger paints, such as 2K acrylic paint. Whereas, regular primers are suitable for latex paint, which is less resistant.

    4. Can you paint and spray directly over 2K primer?

    Yes, once the 2K primer has cured, you can paint or spray directly over it. While you can paint over semi-dry primer, it will not be as effective.
