Repainting Our Harddog Duce Roll Bar: Step 3 - Priming

Priming is essential to a good paint job. Primers have a higher build than paint and the cover better are are formulated to stick to bare metal where as print is NOT. So we hit our Harddog Duce roll bar with two coats of Dupli Color’s Self Etching Primer and let it dry over night.

Etching Primer might seem like over kill since out 80 grit sand paper left plenty of tooth on the bare steel of our roll bar, but I’ve always had great results with etching primers.
