Good product. Covers well
Nice primer for the money

Worth higher price for your project.
This is one of the best primers I've ever used in a spray can. It has great bonding to any surface material, awesome build up properties to level off those small scratches, is self leveling and Sands beautifully wet or dry. What I like about the black is you can see very easily where you missed sanding before you start painting. A lot easier than White or Grey primers to notice. I used it under a silver metallic on aluminum rims and it covered perfect. Consider I've also used 2K primer in a can and would take this over that whenever possible. Did an especially nice job on plastic to fill the deeper scratches. SEM makes a great product, worth every penny of extra money.

Best filler for platinum-cure silicone
I tested 4 types of primer filler and this is the only brand that did not cause cure inhibition on the platinum-cure silicone molds. It works well in light coats and dries extremely fast. The consistency is good in light coats, this is important. Heavy coats cause the filler to foam and the finish will show small air bubbles when sanded. This only happens if the coat is sprayed on too fast and heavy.

Auto primer
This primer is EXCELLENT! I use it to prime small metal parts in my auto restoration shop. It has a high build quality and is easy to sand. It dries quickly and the coverage is great! Buy this product!!

Great primer, terrible spray can
The primer is very good; dries quickly covers and fills well, sands well. Unfortunately, 2/3 cans I purchased I couldn't use as the nozzles kept clogging. I kept cleaning them but would get barely 1-2 seconds of spray before they blocked again. I tried swapping nozzles thinking maybe it was just a nozzle issue but it was not. The other can I used completely with no nozzle blockage. Ended up having to use a different primer that I picked up locally which wasn't as good but it did come out of the can to finish the job.

Great finish
One can is enough for the hood of a car, or the top of a mid-sized sedan. I did 50% overlap, plus some extra attention to edges, and a few early layers for some deeper scratches. It dries nicely. Wet sanded with 600 grit, and it looked the same, minus the insect and random specks. The finish was perfect. It stuck very well to metal, filler, and residual paint. The new top coat stuck very well to this, and looked great. Honestly, this flowed better than the topcoat. This stays put with any of the types of paints and primers I've thrown on top. Most importantly, it does not drip from the nozzle. The fan is nice, and I don't have to worry about special handling when priming flat surfaces. There are enough solids in this that it fills and builds well. It's better than the grey high-build and enamel filler primers I've used as far as hiding stray 120 grit swirls. But it's a primer, not a filler. If you have any gouges, dents, chips, etc, you should dress those prior to priming.
