GENERAL INFORMATION
KD2000 Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer was formulated with a hybrid of epoxy and acrylic polymers, which provide excellent adhesion, good corrosion resistance,
productive dry times, and ease of sanding. These primers emit very low amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Polluting Solvents (HAPS), and
contain no isocyanides.
KD2000 may be applied to the existing OEM finish, bare steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and galvanized surfaces. Its tenacious adhesion, hi-build, excellent durability, and
water and corrosion resistance make it a logical choice for the basis of a long lasting paint job. KD2000 Epoxy Primer:
• Resists cracking for years and years
• Cures for sanding and finishing in 3 hours at 77 degrees
• Prevents plastic filler staining or bleed through
• Will not stain, shrink, or swell from sand scratches
KD2000 Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer is the first step to a great long lasting custom finish.
IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND)
• DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF-ETCHING PRIMER, ETC. UNDER THE KD2000 PRIMER. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY
CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM.
• KD2000 PREVENTS BLEED THROUGH OF STAINS BY POLYESTER FILLERS AND GLAZES IF MILLAGE AT LEAST 2 MILS AFTER SANDING.
APPROXIMATE BUILD IS 1 MIL PER COAT WITH 10% REDUCTION USING A PRIMER GUN.
• KD2000 IS A HIGH BUILD SANDABLE EPOXY PRIMER AND IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO APPLY POLYESTER BODY FILLER OR GLAZEING PUTTY
OVER THIS PRIMER. YOU MUST APPLY 2 MORE COATS OF KD2000 OVER THE GLAZING PUTTY PRIOR TO TOP COATING.
• IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE AT

SUBSTRATE
• OEM finish
• Body Fillers
• Bare Steel
• Bare aluminum
• Bare fiberglass
• Galvanized surfaces
PREPARATION
Read “TECH PREP” thoroughly before you begin painting. Prepare vehicle using normal methods for urethane finishing. Surface to be primed should be free of wax,
grease, rust, etc. Clean with KCA100 prior to sanding. Do not apply KD2000 over uncatalyzed primers. KD2000 may be applied over properly prepared OEM
factory primers and finishes, but for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection it is best to apply KD2000 directly to the bare substrate. Ko-Seal ® II may be applied
over properly prepared previously painted surfaces. See Ko-Seal ® II Tech Sheet for application information.
NOTE: PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BARE METAL AND OLD FINISH SANDING.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF-ETCHING PRIMER, ETC. UNDER THE KD2000 PRIMER. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE
AN ADHESION PROBLEM.
NOTE: IF YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO USE A METAL CONDITIONER TO REMOVE RUST, ETC., BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND NUTRALIZE THE TREATED
AREA FOLLOWING THE CONDITIONER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS, THEN USING OUR KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER WITH A MAROON SCUFF PAD
TO INSURE ALL ACID RESIDUE HAS BEEN REMOVED BEFORE PRIMING. IF NOT, THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM.

Rule 1151 & Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II
MIXING RATIO
KD2000 Epoxy Primer: 4 parts
KDA2000 Activator: 1 part
RU300 Exempt Reducer: Up to 10% (optional)
Aggressively mix KD2000 Primer thoroughly before mixing the two parts together. Add up to 10% RU300 Exempt Reducer for improved sprayability and flow out. A
10% reduction will give approximately 1 mil dry film thickness per coat. Always measure, do not guess.
Stir mixed components well to ensure a thorough cure, use a paint shaker for best results. No incubation time is needed.
• Pot life: 2-3 hours at 70°F. Shop conditions can vary pot life.
