GAL 4:1 HB PRIMER BLACK - U-POL

The U-POL GAL 4:1 HB PRIMER BLACK (UP2275) is a high-solids, 2K urethane primer specifically engineered for professional automotive and industrial refinishing applications. This robust formulation delivers exceptional film build and superior surface leveling, providing a critical foundation for achieving durable, professional-grade topcoat finishes. It is designed to optimize surface preparation, ensuring efficient and effective results for technicians.

Key Features

• Versatile Functionality: Adaptable for various refinishing requirements, this product serves as a high-build primer filler (4:1 ratio), a primer surfacer (4:1:1), or a primer sealer (4:1:2), offering flexibility for specific repair tasks.
• Excellent Film Build & Leveling: Formulated to achieve significant film build, it effectively fills minor imperfections and sand scratches, creating a smooth and uniform base essential for a flawless topcoat application.
• Broad Substrate Compatibility: Direct application is possible on bare metal, most plastics, unsanded E-coat, and properly prepared aluminum and galvanized surfaces. For aluminum and galvanized substrates, an acid etch primer like U-POL ACID#8 is recommended.
• Optimized Sanding Characteristics: Engineered for quick drying and easy sanding, both wet or dry, which contributes to streamlined workflows and reduced preparation time in professional shop environments.
• Tintable for Color Optimization: Can be tinted with up to 10% urethane mixing base, allowing for improved color matching and optimization, particularly beneficial under darker topcoats to enhance vibrancy and depth.

Applications
