To use a self-etch primer, follow these basic steps:

1.Sand metal thoroughly. Remove all visible scale or rust.
2.Clean the surface with wax-and-grease remover and wipe dry.
3.Spray on a full wet coat of self-etch primer to any exposed bare metal. See Figure 25-10.
4.Apply an undercoat (primer or primer-surfacer) or sealer. If a self-etching primer-filler is used, this step might not be necessary.
5.Once the undercoat refinish system is dry and sanded, wipe with a tack cloth. The surface is ready for the colorcoat.
