Prime (No.5)

This is a water-based adhesion-promoting base-coat primer for using under leather paint. Like most coatings processes, the best results come from good surface prep. Whatever you are repairing or recolouring, you want maximum adhesion of coatings via a strong bond between the leather and the colour coats. 

  • Promotes optimal adhesion between leather and new coatings
  • Use after cleaning and sanding and before colouring
  • Can be used under and over leather filler and binder
  • Dries fast and clear
  • Easy to apply by sponge
  • Water-based
  • Self leveling

Why is priming important?

Good adhesion is a key factor of durability. Coatings that stick well, wear longer and better. Priming before colouring maximises adhesion thereby contributing to the most durable result possible for your job. For porous, exposed leather, Prime (No.5) can help to seal the surface before recolouring.

Beware repair systems that don't take priming seriously

Some leather repair systems skip this step or have primer added to the leather paint (which just makes the paint tacky which then becomes problematic). 

Just like in the tannery

When your leather was coloured in the tannery, a primer was used to ensure a quality finish. Leather Hero's Prime (No.5) lets you replicate the tannery process without cutting corners. 

Easy to apply

Easy to apply, simply sponge over the prepared surface. Clear drying, Prime (No.5) can be used under and over leather filler, over leather binder and under leather paint. 

 

 

Make it stick

A big part of achieving a long lasting result is maximising the adhesion of the new coatings to the old ones.

Prime (No.5) is an adhesion promoter. Its job is to make leather paint stick optimally.

When pigmented leather is created in a tannery, a 'base-coat' of leather primer is applied before the colour coatings. Prime (No.5) lets you use the same process for best possible results.

I started the project with just the coloured paint which wasn’t successful so i reordered the undercoat and the top coat and the finished job was excellent. The colour match cannot be detected. Thank you very much.
