Only by using the complete R-M system—from undercoat to basecoat color to clearcoat—can you ensure a top-quality, enduring repair. Undercoats are divided into several product groups according to their function in a paint system (e.g. adhesion promoter, sealer, etc.) or technology (e.g. epoxy, polyurethane, etc.). R-M offers a complete undercoat assortment that fulfills the needs of any collision repair center or custom shop.

R-M has a paint system to fit any need — from environmentally friendly waterborne basecoats, to a traditional basecoat/clearcoat system and even single stage!
