Rust-Oleum 249322 Automotive Self Etching Primer Spray, 12 oz, Matte Dark Green

This works very well to make a good base especially on old metal.

I had aluminum chairs that I had to prime to get the paint to stick. I tried paint made for grills. Didn’t work. I needed two cans. Same product at the home improvement store was $2.50 more per can. Saved 5 bucks. So far the primer worked on the aluminum chairs. The new paint isn’t flaking off the primer. Chairs look new again.

Good quality primer, seems to etch/adhere well to lightly cleaned steel.

Thin coats a few minutes in between and you're good to go. Came out smooth.

Have used it on several projects. Always goes on smoothly and cover easily. Only complaint is that if you use a partial can. the nozzle may be clogged when you try to use the rest later.

Good stuff

You need a good foundation to achieve perfect results using enamel spray paint. This primer does the job. Doesn't leave globs or streaks and no runs. 2 light coats and you are color ready. I bake my enamel and this hasn't bled or been a problem. Best price around. Satisfied With the purchase.

I'm not patient with spray paint. I try but in my efforts to get complete even coverage, I often create runs and sags. I used this on my suspension installation kit, lots of opportunities, not 1 run and it looks great. Hoping I have the same luck with the chassis black I choose.
