Evercoat 440 Express Micro-Pinhole Eliminator, 1 Pint, 100440
Product Overview
Evercoat 440 Express™ Micro-Pinhole Eliminator, 1 Pint (100440) is a fast, professional solution for eliminating micro-pinholes and stray sand scratches that are difficult to detect before primer application. Using Evercoat’s patent-pending 1K high-solids polyester technology, 440 Express™ improves repair quality, reduces rework, and helps technicians achieve a cleaner, more uniform surface in seconds.
Evercoat’s 440 Express will eliminate up to 90% of all re-work caused by micro-pinholes and all it takes is 30 seconds to a better repair. This wipe-on product requires no sanding, dries quickly, and will not shrink—preventing micro-pinholes from telegraphing through the paint after the vehicle has been refinished.
For best results, use with Evercoat 440 Express Micro-Pinhole Applicators (100439), sold separately.
Package size: 16 fl. oz. (1 Pint / 473 mL).
Features & Benefits
- Fast Micro-Pinhole Fix: Quickly addresses hard-to-see micro-pinholes before primer application.

- 1K High-Solids Polyester Technology: Patent-pending formulation that is easy to apply and quick to dry.
- No Sanding Required: Wipe-on application eliminates the need for additional sanding steps.

How to Use (Standard Operating Procedure)
- Step 1 – Final Sanding: Finish the dent repair process by sanding the area with 180-grit or finer sandpaper. Remove dust with clean compressed air.
- Step 2 – Shake & Apply: Shake 440 Express™ thoroughly. Apply a small amount to the applicator sponge or directly to the repair area. Multiple applications may be necessary on larger repairs.
- Step 3 – Wipe & Reveal: Wipe 440 Express™ over the entire repair area. Continue wiping until all visible residue has been removed. The repair area should remain visible through the light coat, making micro-pinholes and stray sand scratches easy to identify.
- Step 4 – Dry & Prime: Allow to dry for approximately 15 minutes, then apply primer surfacer according to the paint manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Excess Build-Up: If excess 440 Express™ builds up on the repair area, allow to dry for 15 minutes, then lightly sand using 400–500 grit sandpaper prior to applying primer.
- Compatibility Note: 440 Express™ is only approved for use over cured and sanded Evercoat 2K dent repair products that can be primed directly over. It is not recommended for fixing pinholes in conventional body fillers; Evercoat recommends Metal Glaze® (#416) for that application.

SMS Expert Notes
Evercoat 440 Express™ is a powerful tool for improving the quality and consistency of primer-ready surfaces. Micro-pinholes and stray sand scratches are common causes of rework and finish defects, often only becoming visible after primer or basecoat is applied. By using 440 Express™ as a quick, wipe-on step before priming, technicians can dramatically reduce these issues and achieve a cleaner, more uniform repair surface.
Because 440 Express™ requires no sanding and dries quickly, it integrates smoothly into modern collision repair workflows. When paired with Evercoat premium fillers and putties, it helps shops reduce comebacks, save time, and deliver higher-quality finishes. For best results, apply a thin, even coat, wipe thoroughly, and always follow the recommended dry time before priming.
