questions about the filler primer and paint

[Muchavio]

Hi all, I have a question about the filler primer. Do I need to spray a sealer primer over the filler before spraying the color coat? Or can I just sand the filler and spray the color on top of that. I was thinking about mixing the deep blue and brilliant silver to make a lighter metallic blue to try and match the color of my bike. I'm adding fiberglass saddlebags to my bike and have flattened the original finish and sprayed several coats of filler primer to hide a few scratches. Is there anything else I need to do before adding the color coat. Thanks in advance for any advice.

you can paint over the filler primer w/ paint shop. using the primer sealer is the best route though because it helps prevent anything from breaking through and it will help the color of the base primers from bleeding out.

Chris, thanks for the reply. I used the aerosol filler primer, so I should be able to use the sealer primer on top of that, then the color and clear coat.

correct. that is exactly what i did when i painted my car. everything worked great. be sure to wet sand the primer sealer before painting.
