Awlgrip OU5000Q Quick Build Blue Base Sealer & Surfacer Primer Quart

The OU5000Q Blue Base is one of six colored primer bases in the Quick Build lineup, formulated to be tinted or blended to closely match virtually any Awlgrip topcoat color, dramatically reducing the number of coats required to achieve a professional finish.

Key Features:

• Dual-function system: Functions as either a sealer primer or a surfacer primer by pairing the same base with different converters and activators (sold separately)
• Direct-to-substrate application: Quick Build Sealer can be applied directly to certain substrates with no additional primer required
• Single-day workflow: Complete substrate preparation, priming, and topcoat application all in one day
• No sanding required: Sealer application requires only a single coat with no sanding before topcoating
• Color-matched priming: Six color bases — including Black, Blue, Green, Red, White, and Yellow — can be mixed to achieve quicker hide and more vibrant topcoat results
• 60+ formulated colors: Access to 60 formulated primer colors via AkzoNobel's MIXIT Cloud digital color system for precise topcoat matching
• Reduced topcoat consumption: Superior hide in matched colors reduces the number of topcoat coats needed, lowering overall material costs
• No induction time required: Mix and apply immediately; no reducer necessary, though 5–10% Awlgrip Reducer (T0001, T0002, T0003, or T0005) may be added to ease application

Mix Ratios (by volume):

• Sealer System: 4 parts Base (OU5000Q) : 1 part Sealer Converter OU3100 : 1.5 parts Sealer Activator OA3110
• Surfacer System: 3 parts Base (OU5000Q) : 1 part Surfacer Converter OU3200 : 1 part Surfacer Activator OA3210
