FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is primer needed if the panel is already filled and sanded?+

Primer creates the correct adhesive base for the paint to bond with the prepared surface, and also evens out the tiniest pores and unevenness left after filling — without primer, paint may sit unevenly or not adhere reliably enough to the surface.

Why is degreasing immediately before painting important?+

Even a minimal amount of grease or oil on the surface (e.g. from an accidental touch of a hand) can disrupt even paint adhesion, causing finish defects — degreasing with a special compound eliminates this risk right before paint application.

What happens if the dry sanding step for the primer is skipped?+

The slightest roughness in the primed surface will become visible after painting, especially under a certain light angle — final sanding provides a perfectly smooth base for the coating.

How long does primer take to dry before painting?+

The waiting time depends on the specific material used and the room temperature — usually from 30 minutes to several hours; we always follow the primer manufacturer's recommended curing time.

Why is masking neighbouring elements important?+

Without careful masking, paint can accidentally land on non-paintable areas, requiring extra cleaning or, worse, damaging a neighbouring finish — quality masking ensures crisp, professional paint boundaries.

How long does preparing one panel for painting take?+

Usually 1–2 hours, including applying primer, curing time, sanding, degreasing, and masking — the exact time depends on the panel's area and the complexity of the masking geometry.

Do you work in a dedicated paint booth?+

Yes, we have our own paint booth with controlled air cleanliness and temperature — this is critical specifically at the final preparation and painting stage, where dust or unsuitable temperature can ruin the result.
