Excellent Coverage and Smooth Finish for Prep Work
This high-build aerosol primer is a great choice for anyone doing bodywork, restoration, or refinishing projects where surface prep really matters. The spray pattern is consistent and fine, which makes it easy to lay down even coats without runs or patchiness. It builds thickness quickly, allowing you to fill minor sanding scratches and surface imperfections in just a couple of passes. The drying time is ideal—not too fast to cause dry spray and not too slow to hold up your workflow. After curing, it sands beautifully, producing a smooth, powdery surface that is ready for paint. It adheres well to metal, plastic, and fiberglass, and I’ve had no issues with lifting or compatibility when applying base coat or color over it. Another advantage is how durable the finish is once cured. It holds up well to handling and doesn’t clog sandpaper like cheaper primers often do. The nozzle sprays evenly from start to finish, and the can has a solid feel that suggests good internal pressure and product quality. In short, this is a professional-grade primer in a convenient aerosol format. It’s ideal for auto touch-ups, hobby work, or any situation where you want a clean, level foundation before painting. The combination of build quality, smooth sanding, and dependable adhesion makes it well worth keeping in the shop.

worked as expected
great product. worked as expected. used it for my front bumper paint - I over sanded the spot, and black plastic exposed, had to pray it before the color coat.

Went with spray can to cover small area, adequate for the job.
Working on front/back of my recent project. The primer is above the rear license plate in gray. Overall a good product i think but took longer to cure than what i expected, felt a little waxy to the touch and when dry had some solvent like "pops" which created more work to either sand them flush or fill. Product sands easily, sprays nicely and i went 240, 400, 600, 800 grit for a finer finish than i needed with wet paper. I plan to also do front bumper. One or two wet pass sprays are best i think and then just leave it to cure.

Critical to refinishing plastic boat dash
Excellent base for refurbing my boat's plastic console that has faded. Cleaned and lightly prepped with 220, this laid down very nicely, smooth and without spray pain sputters or issue. Excellent adhesion and very pleased with the results.

High build primer
I crashed my 1996 Mercury sable into a telephone pole at 40mph while trying to both drive and put on my super hero costume (a little irresponsible, I know!) Anyway this high build primer was super helpfull repairing the cosmetic damage, it took about 400 cans but cheaper than a bodyshop I was able to sand and form the front end back into shape. Good stuff, I also found the fumes really took the edge off after a long day of fighting crime.

This is a great product for 3D printing
Great for 3d prints. A little sanding. Then 2 coats at most. No layer lines. 👍🏻👍🏻 Wish it was a little cheaper. But I'll pay for quality. Great adhesion. Works amazing. After it cures it's hard as a rock.

Best primer in a can I have ever used!
Probably the best primer in a can I have used. The spray was consistent and covered very evenly. If you follow the instruction and let it sit for 24 hrs it works flawlessly.

Needs better reliability
Had a problem with one of my cans being a dead can but the cans that worked were wonderful

Absolutnie nie polecam. Konsystencja jest jak woda, źle kryje kolorowe powierzchnie, przy szlifowaniu schodzi całkiem a przeważnie narożniki i do tego odpryskuje.

Ottimo prodotto per chi cerca un primer filler per perfezionare le stampe 3D! Stavo cercando qualcosa che mi aiutasse a riempire quei punti difficili da levigare con la carta vetrata nelle mie stampe 3D, e devo dire che questo prodotto è davvero eccellente. Riempe perfettamente le piccole imperfezioni, migliorando la superficie e garantendo una migliore adesione della vernice. Consigliatissimo per chi vuole dare un tocco professionale alle proprie stampe!

A mi parecer es un producto bastante bueno. Los fillers cuando se sobrecargan suelen agrietarse por contracción del material, y más aún si. Son aplicados sobre plásticos rígidos, este parece aguantar bastante bien además de adherirse (al menos lo que de momento parece) más que bien. El producto está aplicado sobre una pieza de PETG impresa, cubre PEQUEÑOS, detalles, NO elimina las líneas de impresión que no han sido tratadas, pero estoy muy contento con su aplicación, cobertura y secado. Levanta bastante polvillo, se llena todo de polvo incluso aunque pintes dentro de cajas, por contra cae ya seco y no mancha. Veremos qué tal de base de pintura pronto, si puedo edito la review. (La foto de la pieza negra es ejemplo de cómo estaba antes de aplicar el filler)

Habe diesen Primer für ein 3D gedrucktes Modell verwendet. Hat ein sehr gutes Lackbild ergeben keine Nasen und gutes Abdeckung nach einer Lack Schicht. Material war ABS Der Farblack hat danach super gehalten und weißt eine uniforme und schöne Oberfläche auf.
