Geist. Primer is an adhesion promoter designed to ensure the paint layer adheres to the surface, providing a long-lasting repair. Once sprayed, the primer, which contains mild binders, penetrates the pores of the leather and ensures optimal adhesion of the subsequent paint layer. It also maintains the leather's softness, as considerably less paint is required to restore the surface. Preparing (cleaning and degreasing) the surface before applying the primer is key to ensuring a good overall repair. The primer leaves the surface slightly tacky, and applying a coat with a sponge to scratches, rips, holes, etc. ensures good adhesion of the leather filler and other repair materials used. The primer can also be used to thin or make Geist leather paint more transparent, which can be particularly useful when re-dyeing leather with aniline or semi-aniline dyes. When working on a larger surface area, it is easier and faster to spray the primer frequently. It can be applied with a sponge or brush on a smaller surface.

For excellent overall protection and durability of the repaired surface, Geist Crosslinker will need to be added to the Top Coat mixture prior to application. See the Crosslinker details page For complete information on mixing ratios, see Geist. Top coats must be sprayed with a spray gun or airbrush. They cannot be applied with a sponge.
