Preps Plastic Before Painting

Would Recommend

Easy to Use. We sprayed 2 coats of this on a plastic cover for a water pressure relay that the City had us replace by our water meter. The cover was white and stuck out as unattractive. This primer was easy to use and prepared the cover for the green paint we sprayed on to adhere well. It looks great and should last for years.

Quality coverage

Would Recommend

I felt the color was nice and the coverage was quality. Definitely buy more than one can- my project was small but required more coats and more paint

Does what it says. STOPS RUST

Would Recommend

I didn’t believe it until I tried it. It does block rust from forming. On items already rusting. Hard to find. Stock up when you find it
