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.

Self etching paint works great. Takes quite a few cans to cover the roof of my old 23 foot motorhome

Great finish and color.

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.

This is one of my favorite rattle can primers. Holds up well over scuffed top coat or bare metal.

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

does what it says on the tin.
Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Paint
At the end of the day, it's hard to rate, or have an opinion on, a paint primer, until you've seen it do it's job for ten or twenty years. If the paint stays on, then it did it's job well, but it should take years before you have confidence in it. So there's a reason I keep returning to the Rustoleum "Professional" or "Industrial" product lines; they deliver, if you do your job right prepping the surface. ... show more
