FAQs
Can I use this primer over bare metal?
No, this is a 2K filler primer and is not designed for direct-to-metal (DTM) use. Apply an epoxy or acid etch primer to bare metal before using P334.
What is the recommended spray gun nozzle size?
A nozzle size between 1.6mm and 1.8mm is generally recommended for optimal atomization of this high-solid primer.
How long is the pot life after mixing?
Once mixed with the H725 hardener, the primer typically has a pot life of approximately 1 hour at 20°C, depending on environmental conditions.
Is this primer compatible with water-based topcoats?
Yes, once properly cured and sanded, the P334 provides an excellent base for both solvent-based and water-based automotive topcoat systems.
Do I need to add thinner to the mixture?
Thinning is optional and depends on your equipment and desired finish. If thinning is necessary, use only high-quality 2K thinner up to the manufacturer-recommended percentage.
Troubleshooting
The primer is running or sagging during application
Reduce the fluid flow on your spray gun or increase the distance between the gun and the panel; check if the mix ratio was too thin.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased; confirm that the surface was sanded to the recommended grit profile for primer adhesion.
Primer drying too slowly
Verify the ambient temperature in the spray booth; ensure the correct hardener was used and mixed in the proper 4:1 proportion.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the primer, mix the P334 primer with the H725 hardener at a precise 4:1 ratio by volume. It is highly recommended to use a mixing cup to ensure accuracy. If thinning is required for your specific spray gun setup, use a compatible 2K acrylic thinner, adhering strictly to the manufacturer's percentage limits. For care, store both containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure lids are sealed tightly after every use to prevent the hardener from reacting with atmospheric humidity.
