  • Good product
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Paint
Went on very well. Was painting aluminum and covering with black. Satisfied with the results. Adhesion was good after drying it was easy to paint over with good coverage. I did multiple coats because the wheels were not in very good condition.

I used this for my truck restoration project. After prep, this was painted on and came out very well. It’s smooth and good spray. It looks really nice too.

  • Great Coverage for Wheels, But Go Easy When Sanding
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Paint
I used this self-etching primer as part of an aluminum wheel refinishing project, and overall it worked pretty good. One feature I really appreciated was the ability to spray at any angle, even upside down. If you’ve ever painted wheels, you know there are plenty of awkward spots where that comes in handy. I used two cans to cover all four wheels and followed the instructions exactly. Coverage was good, and the primer laid down evenly. The reason for the 4-star rating is that the primer can sand through fairly easily on edges and curved surfaces. On my first wheel, I lightly sanded the primer before paint, and while the flat areas were fine, the primer came right off on some of the curves and edges. That meant re-priming and redoing part of the wheel. After that lesson, I adjusted my technique on the remaining wheels and had much better results. Instead of applying pressure, I simply skimmed the surface with the sandpaper and let the paper do the work. If you’re using this on wheels, my advice is: * Follow the prep instructions carefully. * Apply light, even coats. * When sanding, use almost no pressure, especially around edges and contours. Overall, this primer provided excellent adhesion and coverage for my project, and I’d use it again. Just remember that a light touch during sanding can save you from doing the same wheel twice. ... show more

  • Good for bare metal.
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Paint
It’s really important to use an etching primer on bare metal to get the tooth down into the metal and the acid edge of this primer removes any type of oxidation coating between sanding the metal cleaning the metal and getting the metal painted so you get a good bond this worked well on the finish ended up being very nice ... show more
