What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage, smooth application, and strong adhesion, particularly on metal surfaces. Reviewers consistently highlight even application, excellent sandability, and reliable performance as a base coat, with many citing years of trust for both hobbyist and professional projects. The primer effectively stops rust and prepares surfaces for durable finishes. A small number report occasional issues with can pressure loss or nozzle clogging over time, and a few mention adhesion or finish inconsistencies, though these remain outliers. Overall, most customers consider it a dependable, professional-grade choice.

Pretty solid, easy to use

Would Recommend

Works pretty well, I used it on my wife's bike as a base primer, so far over a few weeks it still looks great. Also, I used it to stop rust on my bike engine's exhaust, and I know it isn't rated for high temperature, but it still hasn't bubbled off or flaked off even after a few weeks of daily use of getting the exhaust up to temperature, so I am pretty impressed!

Great for Warhammer IMO, SHAKE THOROUGHLY.

Would Recommend

Excellent finish on the Warhammer Minis I painted with this, super crisp in the details while also self leveling out some unsightly mold lines. I purchased 3 cans and the only criticism is that I wish it were slightly lighter color but again that’s purely aesthetic. One thing I would recommend is to have a heat gun/blow dryer handy to help the accelerant evaporate, it helped with the otherwise slow drying time. From 45 minutes to 15 fully ready to paint. 2 light coats.

Some cans don’t work well.

Would Recommend

Some cans don’t work all the way to empty. Took tip off and cleaned tube out with cleaner and did not help.
