Thread: Rattle can primer

Tweet

What kind of paint job is going on the car? If the car is being done in rattle can also, then by all means, rattle can primer to your heart's content. If you are spraying the car with automotive paint products, the solvents used are likely to soften or cause wrinkling/lifting with any rattle can primer. One of those getting what you pay for things... If someone else is painting it for you and they hear you used rattle can primer, they will want the body stripped bare just because of those issues.


If you're just wanting to cover some areas as you work on them, get a quality epoxy primer and just mix what you need and put it on with a low nap roller. You'll be sanding it later anyhow, and it will give you a paint product that will stand up to anything else sprayed over top...
