Excellent adhesion and smooth coverage for repaire
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Valspar Oil-Based Aerosol Primer while repairing damaged wall and door trim areas near my entryway.

Reliable & smooth primer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Valspar oil based aerosol primer goes on smoothly & evenly, giving a nice, consistent texture that makes painting easier.
