"good stuff for primering alloy wheels. after a mishap on one of the wheels i painted i had to reblast it, the paint came off leaving the primer in place which required going over again whith the blaster so it seems to stick pretty well"

Pros: plenty of primer in the container
Cons: no instructions about preparation or use
"Although its effectiveness needs to be tested when the item that I sprayed is used, this seemed to be a good-value product that went a lot further than I had expected. It formed a good surface on which I could apply a groundcoat and several top coats although I have no way of knowing how adequately it etched the steel it was applied to."

"This product was recommended to me by a SMART body repair specialist. It is great for that first coat of paint onto bare metal - it will not flake off and goes on very evenly."
