Cleaning primer paint
Hello,
I am wondering how to go about cleaning oil spots out of primer. The paint is riddled with oil spots from a PSP line blowing and a tranny oil cooling line. Plus, some hand prints of my own. I tried engine degreaser at a car wash, that did not work. I'd like to get this cleaned up . Thanks in advance.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
Sand it and primer it again primer is like a sponge it will suck up anything like oil.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
have to agree,, 300 grit and new primer.. that stuff is designed to adsorb anything and never let it go..
the oil and the primer are now chemically bonded |

Re: Cleaning primer paint
What kind of primer? Epoxy vs. Krylon may have vastly different answers.
x2, on check in the paint and bodywork section.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
On a previous vehicle I used Soft Scrub (a kitchen and bath cleaner) and a hard type sponge.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
Well, if sand and re-prime is what it will take, then the spots may never go away. I don't know anything about paint and body work. It'll get fixed when it is ready for final paint job.
Thanks.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
Primer is to help the paint stick to the metal so it sucks up anything that touches it.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
If your not going to reprime this is your best answer. The Soft Scrub has a mild abrasive and firm sponge will scuff the surface enough to give you a fresh finish.

Re: Cleaning primer paint
Cool, have to try that when I get the chance. I'm busy today and the next 2 days are full of rain.
