Showerthought: Skipping primer on small repairs isn't always a sin

On minor scratches where the metal isn't exposed, I often skip the primer step. Just a thorough scuff with fine grit and then base coat. It bonds fine if the surface is clean and properly prepped. Saves a whole day of curing time on quick jobs.

Works fine on door dings too.

Totally agree. Sometimes the extra step just isn't worth the time for a tiny fix.

My truck's fender tells a different story.
