What Is the SPI Automotive Basecoat?

Our 2000 Series Basecoat is the first layer of paint to add over the primer when repairing a car, truck, motorcycle or industrial vehicle. Use it with any 2K sealer or epoxy primer. 

This basecoat helps you achieve a precise, consistent shade when applying subsequent layers. Autobody partners love the 2000 Series for its ability to match a vehicle’s color during restoration projects. It also offers the versatility to accommodate custom paint jobs.

Choose the SPI 2000 Series as an alternative basecoat line that is as cost-effective and easy to spray as bigger brands. We developed our basecoat mixture for uniform distribution with a 1.3-1.4 millimeter gun tip. Its adhesive properties prevent chips and cracks while simplifying color control. It will cover most 400-grit sanding scratches from the material preparation process.

The SPI 2000 Series Automotive Basecoat is available in numerous colors, including white, dark or medium red, black and orange. Choose a color that blends with your topcoat to achieve the color and finish you desire.

You can purchase our basecoat products in quart and gallon quantities to receive the amount you need for a single project or for recurring automotive painting needs.

The 2000 Series Automotive Basecoat’s simplicity starts during preparation. Ready this basecoat for use by adding a reducer at a 1-to-1 mix ratio. You can reduce the 2000 Series Basecoat with SPI 870, 885, 0870 or 0885 reducers. Use only SPI or other high-quality reducers. Low volatile organic compounds (VOC) equivalents can also work. 

After mixing the basecoat and reducer, use an SPI Clear activator to increase chemical adhesion and durability. The 2000-Series Basecoat is compatible with all SPI Clearcoat activators. Add the activator to the mixture at a rate of 1 ounce per sprayable quart.

Apply the Basecoat to the surface wet using a spray gun tip sized 1.3-1.4 millimeters. ​Wait 30-60 minutes between coats for most applications.
