Built for the job.
A fast drying universal spot primer ideal for small rub through areas and localized repairs. Two products in one – Direct adhesion to both metal components and flexible plastics, no adhesion promoter or etch primer required.
U-POL SPOT3 Universal Spot Primer (450 mL aerosol) is a gray, fast-drying primer formulated for spot-treating repairs and blending on a variety of body shop substrates. It provides a uniform base for subsequent clearcoat or color coat applications, making it ideal for localized touch-up work where full-body priming is unnecessary.
The aerosol delivers approximately 48.4 sq-ft of coverage per can when applied at the recommended temperature of 68 °F, with flexibility to apply 1-3 coats depending on substrate condition. It adheres to aluminum, e-coat, fiberglass, galvanized steel, OEM finishes, plastics, existing primers, and SMC panels, ensuring reliable bonding across common repair materials.
Handling requires full protective equipment: eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator. Use in a well-ventilated area to mitigate the listed hazards, including flammability, acute toxicity, and skin/eye irritation.
