Eastwood High-Build Self-Etching Gray Primer for Automotive Car Paint

Product Overview:

Description

Get newly-fabricated parts and body panels ready for their finishing touches with Eastwood High-Build Self-Etching Primer in Gray. This sandable primer is the best high-build primer for cars, filling in imperfections as it prepares bare metal for non-epoxy topcoats. The result is a smooth surface that improved the color hold-out of the paint or primer that’s added on top.

Eastwood's high-build primers have a true acid-etching formula that sticks to virtually any metal that’s clean, bare and rust-free. These lacquer-based metal-etching primers improve the adhesion and durability of most non-epoxy topcoats while their high-build capabilities allow you to fill in low spots and level surfaces before topcoating. Visit the Eastwood Garage for five great ways to use epoxy primer as part of your painting project.

We offer several purchasing options for our automotive primer. The high-build primer spray can is a simple way to get good results for small fabrication projects or repairs. For larger restorations and custom cars, order the quart or gallon can. For these primers, you'll need a 1.8-2.0mm nozzle to spray using an HVLP gun. Watch our self-etching primer video above to learn more about how they work and when to use each product. Eastwood also provides free lifetime technical support to help you Do the Job Right.

Features:
  • Etches and primes bare metal in 1 step
  • Fills-in imperfections, sands easily
  • Strengthens adhesion, durability, and color hold-out
  • Use with non-epoxy primers and topcoats
  • Made in the USA

Questions & Answers

Can the 2K paint be used over this primer?

Asked by: DaveL88
It is recommended to use a urethane primer as a barrier between the self-etching primer and the 2K paint. This ensures good adhesion and prevents any potential issues with the topcoat. It is important not to use epoxy primer over self-etching primer, as they are not compatible.
