Proper surface preparation plays a crucial role in the repainting process. Without it, paint may fail to adhere correctly, leading to imperfections or long-term issues such as peeling and flaking. Known for its show-stopping restoration work, CaNDe Customs, owned by Carl Corey, demonstrated its expertise with a new project—a 1986 GMC C10—using HP661 Grey DTA (Direct to Anything) Epoxy Kit.
This high-performance primer served multiple essential purposes: it ensured strong adhesion between the vehicle’s surface and the paint, provided a stable foundation, and offered protection against rust and corrosion. The result is a solid and lasting finish—another testament to CaNDe Customs’ commitment to excellence and Tamco Paint’s trusted performance.
