GAF Primers & Accessories

The primers, cleaners, and prep products that ensure every GAF coating system bonds right and performs as designed.

What It Is

The layer nobody sees, everything depends on

Every GAF coating system is only as good as what's underneath it. The primer and accessory lineup is matched to specific substrates and problems: Multi-Purpose Primer for general adhesion across acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane systems, Metal Roof Primer for rusty or bare metal, Bleed-Block Asphalt Primer to stop oil bleed-through and staining on asphaltic roofs, and Cleaning Concentrate for substrate prep before any system goes down.

Skipping or mismatching primer is one of the most common reasons a coating system underperforms or fails early. Getting it right the first time is part of getting the whole job right.
