Evercoat Slick Sand Polyester Primer Surfacer 128 fl oz — High-Build, VOC-Compliant Primer for Fiberglass & Wood

Evercoat Slick Sand is a high-build, 50:1 polyester primer surfacer that fills rough surfaces and bonds to fiberglass, wood, SMC and metal in a single coat.

Built for body shops, restorers, and DIYers tackling large panel work, Slick Sand delivers a high-solids foundation that sands easily and accepts most paint systems. Designed by Evercoat — a trusted name in body repair since 1953 — this VOC-compliant formula was engineered to provide reliable adhesion and smooth out uneven substrates before topcoat application.

How does Slick Sand handle rough or uneven surfaces?

Slick Sand is formulated as a high-build polyester surfacer so it fills gouges, feathered seams, and textured areas in fewer passes than thin primers. Its thickness and leveling characteristics make it suitable for covering large imperfections without running or sagging.

• 50:1 mix ratio provides high solids and build in a single coat
• Fills feathered edges, warted fiberglass, and shallow gouges
• Leveling action reduces the need for multiple primer layers

Will Slick Sand stick to fiberglass, wood, or plastic substrates?

The product is designed for strong adhesion to a variety of substrates common in collision and restoration work — including fiberglass, SMC, body filler, and wood. Proper surface preparation improves bond strength and long-term durability of the primer layer.

• Adheres well to fiberglass and SMC with standard cleaning and scuffing
• Works over cured body filler and wood after degreasing and abrading
• Compatible with common automotive topcoats when prepped correctly

How easy is Slick Sand to sand and finish before painting?

Slick Sand sands to a smooth, paint-ready surface using mid-to-coarse grits on orbital sanders, helping accelerate the finish workflow. Choose 180-grit for heavier feathered or rough areas and 220-grit for final blending and feather edges.

• Recommended sanding: 180 and 220 grit depending on the stage
• Orbital sanding achieves consistent, even feathering
• Smooth finish reduces topcoat imperfections and orange peel

Is Slick Sand environmentally compliant and shop-friendly?

This Evercoat primer is formulated to meet VOC requirements while still delivering high solids and build, offering a balance of performance and regulation compliance for professional shops. Proper ventilation and personal protection remain important during mixing and spraying.

• VOC-compliant formulation suitable for regulated environments
• High-solids chemistry reduces number of coats required
• Packaged in a 128 fl oz container for large panels and fleet work

Who is this for: Evercoat Slick Sand is intended for collision repair technicians, restoration specialists, and experienced DIYers who need a robust primer surfacer that fills and levels large or uneven areas. It benefits shops working on fiberglass boats, composite body panels, wood trim, and classic car projects where build, adhesion, and easy sanding speed up the paint preparation process.
