Color Prime 915™
Engineered for superior adhesion, Color Prime 915 is a two-component, water-based epoxy primer designed to prepare metal roofs for topcoat application. Its versatile formula also serves as a bonding primer for various other surfaces, ensuring long-term coating performance.
- Enhances adhesion to metal roof surfaces prior to top coating
- Compatible with a wide range of substrates including metal, masonry, wood, and organic polymers
- Two-component epoxy formulation for strong bonding performance
- Helps create a durable foundation for subsequent coating systems
- Can be used as a masonry block filler for improved surface uniformity
- Suitable for brush, roller, or spray application methods
- Water-based formulation for easier application and clean up
- Designed to improve coating system performance and longevity

- Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Pressure wash (2,500–3,500 psi) if necessary. Some substrates may require mechanical abrasion for better adhesion.
- Mixing/Thinning
Stir thoroughly before use. Do not thin unless specified in product instructions.
- Application Methods
Apply using a brush, roller, or airless sprayer in a thin, even coat. Avoid pooling or over-application.
- Dry Time
Allow to dry completely before applying the topcoat. Dry time varies with temperature, humidity, and substrate but is typically 30 minutes to a few hours.
- Limitations/Precautions
Do not apply below 50°F. Avoid application if rain is imminent, as water-based primers can wash off before drying. Confirm compatibility with the intended coating system.
- Storage/Handling
Store in a cool, dry place, away from freezing temperatures. Keep containers sealed to prevent contamination.
- Cleanup/Disposal
Clean tools and equipment with soap and water immediately after use. Do not dispose of liquid primer in drains or waterways. Follow local regulations for disposal.
