Overview

Built for the job.

Promotes paint adhesion to most automotive surfaces, like plastics, aluminum, galvanized metal, zinc, painted surfaces, fiberglass and even body fillers. Replaces the need to abrade surfaces in hard-to sand areas, like under hoods and deck lids.

U-POL RAPTOR UP5024 is a clear, single-component adhesion promoter delivered in a 12.4 oz aerosol can. It is formulated to improve bond strength between primer and topcoat on a wide range of body shop substrates.

Designed for use at an ambient temperature of 68 °F, the promoter provides effective coverage with one to two light coats. It adheres to aluminum, e-coat, fiberglass, galvanized steel, OEM panels, plastics, SMC, and standard automotive steel, ensuring reliable wet-on-wet performance across typical repair materials.

Because the formulation is classified as a flammable liquid with acute toxicity and respiratory hazards, apply in a well-ventilated area while wearing eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator as required by the SDS. Follow all H-statements (H225, H226, H304, H312, H315, H319, H332, H336) for safe handling.

Why Pros Choose U-POL UPO
