The spray format dries within 30 minutes, applies smoothly without brush marks, and works well on irregular surfaces like wicker and metal.

Will do in a pinch but not for doing more than tw.
Would Not RecommendNot much coverage for the price. Had to keep shaking the can. Would have been better off with primer you brush on.

It is expensive
Would RecommendIt is easy to use and can be sanded between coats. A lot easier than a brush on paint.

Excellent primer
Would RecommendThis is really great primer/undercoating. I purchased it to put a base coat on an inexpensive piece of pressboard furniture that had a plastic or laminate coating on the outside. I wanted to paint it, but I was very concerned about the paint not sticking to the plastic. The instructions on the can state that it will adhere to glass and ceramic tile, so that sold me on it.

I used this, and it was great for one side of one leg. Everything else I sprayed with it, was covered in solid flecks - even after I cleared the spray head. It completely ruined everything I primed with it. I now need to sand and reprime; All I got for my money was an extra day required in (re) preparation. Not impressed, ...
