87Warrior Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Does Herc stick to bare metal? If not, you might want to shoot it with a self etching primer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sand it so its not shiny anymore, anywhere. A 320 grit sanding on paint will suffice... just get all the gloss sanded, and it shoulod be good. I think even a good sanding with a red 3M scotchbrite scuff pad would be good. You may want to do some rearch about herculiner over bare metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that Herculiner really prefers something with some "tooth" to adhere to. Bare metal doesn't really offer that. I've also found that the red scotch brite pad supplied with the kit doesn't really etch the paint and metal as much as necessary for good adhesion.
