Gray, easy-to-use self-etching primer aerosol etches and primes bare, rust-free metal in one step. As a metal-etching primer, it adheres to steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized steel, and is compatible with virtually any paint or auto finish. Self-etching primer formula bonds better to bare metals than other aerosol primers, and as a single-stage formula that requires no catalyst, it’s even easier to use.
Self-Etching Primer comes in gray, and is also available in black (16114Z).
16-oz. aerosol can covers about 10 sq. ft. Gray, lacquer-based, and withstands up to 170 degreesF.
Use our Rust Dissolver (16037) to remove light rust before using this Self-Etching Primer.
Q. What types of paints should be avoided?

A. Our Chassis Black paints do not stick well to this or other single-stage self-etching primers. Also, exercise care when using this product over enamel finishes, since lifting may occur.

Q. How does it work?

This metal-etching primer is lacquer-based, and uses an aggressive solvent system to assure excellent adhesion to clean, rust-free metal.
Work in a well-ventilated area. A respirator like our Professional Respirator (34029) is recommended when using this self-etching primer.
