Do you need a primer to apply your BMC manufacturer paint ?
Yes, if your old bottom is scratched and even more so, if you have applied filler to repair dents. It will absolutely be necessary to apply a filling primer in the first step, then to carry out a meticulous sanding with abrasive paper of grains 400 or 500.
We do not use coarser grains, because that would affect the gripping power between the coats of the paint.
No, no primer is necessary if the bottom BMC paint is in good condition. In general, when repainting a part or part of a vehicle, it follows a shock or scratches, so in most cases it is necessary to apply a primer that allows to level well the surface.
A filling primer surfacer is not sufficient if the scratches are deep. Putty should be used for all scratches deeper than 0.3 mm.

The history of the manufacturer BMC

BMC is a big but little known car manufacturer. He is from the United Kingdom and his formation dates back to 1952. BMC was at the time the largest English car manufacturer, did you know that? It alone was responsible for 39% of global car production. The group was born quite recently in comparison with its automaker ancestors who were born at the end of the 19th century. He did not know the two world wars and he went directly into the manufacture of cars for the public, without going through the usual course, of manufacturing bicycles, tricycles, buses or other metal parts and did not suffered from wartime requisition of these manufacturing plants.
During its existence, the BMC group was in close partnership or membership with the manufacturer Austin or MG, then Jaguar. In 1958, an Italian named Farina was hired by the group to redesign the line and style of the car brand. This talented designer will be at the origin of the first mass-produced hatchback type car. He will also be at the origin of the original design of the mini Austin in 1963. In 1966, the BMC group will change its name to BMH (British Motor Holding).
