Would Not RecommendOne of my three cans broke immediately. Swapped out the spray tip and no change, it was broken or clogged inside the can.

Needed to repaint the bumpers on my car
Would RecommendI re-painted the plastic bumpers on my 87' Scirocco and applied this primer after prepping the plastic. The primer covers well and the top coat adhered well. It is easy to use and I would definitely purchase the primer again in the future.

Refinish antique metal porch chairs
Would RecommendAfter a lot of rust removal, primer went on well, finish coats look great. Lookin forward to many years of use for these renewed chairs.
Worst primer I have ever used
Would Not RecommendI think I got a really old can, I've never had this issue with any paint/primer. One minute it's spraying fine, then small globs of it will spray out making a spackled texture. Basically ruined what I was trying to paint, now I get to spend a bunch more time sanding or stripping it off.

Worked Great
Would RecommendPrimed steel shelf standards and brackets for black spray paint. Best primer for spray painting I've used (better than standard Rustoleum primer), gave great adhesion for paint layer. Good quantity out of each can.

Paint sticks
Would RecommendThis is an excellent paint for preparing older material. No Paint removal needed, just smooth sand rough spots, spray with gray and an hour later, you are ready for the top / finish coat. Stays on, looks great.

excellent product
Would RecommendGot this to bond to a stained solid wood desk. Worked great and went on evenly with no issues. Even though it was not optimal temperature, I still had pretty good results from the product.
This bonding primer does an excellent job.
Would RecommendI used this to prime a metal door sill that had paint spots and grime on it. The primed surface was excellent and the top coat of non-slip paint has great adhesion to the primed surface. Nice even spray, too.
