SAMURAI 2-Part Spray Paint Epoxy Primer for Marine Surfacer (Primer White, Pack of 1 Can)

Worked fantastic

This was perfect for my job. Should know in the fall how it held up. Used below waterline on the boat prior to using bottom paint. Was spot applied to an area that I needed this paint for. It was great for my purposes. If it is durable like usual epoxy paint, it will be a great purchase.

I recently used this product to paint my center counsel on my boat and I must say I am so disappointed in this product.. I used the primer first which it worked out great for me except I had issues With the nozzle on two of the four cans that I purchased but I was able to make it work.. So I figured for the paint I would order a few more just in case I had that issue.. Even though I had that issue with four of the 14 cans that I had purchased that was the least of my worries.. I’m not sure what went wrong but the amount of Drips I had were insane ( I have used spray paint plenty of times) So I went ahead and re-sanded everything I had painted so I can apply lighter coats.. that still didn’t work.. drips everywhere.. I was planning on wet sanding and buffing but I’m pretty sure it’s not going to hold up.. After 7 days of curing in the sun Florida I went ahead and started installing hardware, On the ignition switch as you can see in the picture when I tightened it moved and stripped some of the paint.. I’m sorry to say but this has been the worst experience I have ever had with paint.. Now I have to resend everything and I am going to purchase awlgrip and do it the right way. A complete wast of time and money

Easy to mix, sprayed pretty easily, color blocks fairly well too!

I refinished the lower unit of an outboard motor by sanding to bare metal, applying an acid etching primer, then Samurai primer, and finally finish coats of Evinrude brand outboard motor paint. I was sure to shake the Samurai cans double the time they recommend both before and after mixing to hardener in to prevent problems. The paint generally went on well. There were some snotballs in the spray; not sure what causes them. After curing, these easily sanded away with 400 grit, leaving a smooth finish for the top coat. This primer is much glossier than other epoxy primers I have used. I appreciate that they include two spray tips, round and fan. The fan is perhaps a bit too wide. I was surprised that a can I mixed was still good to use the next day. While I was able to get an SDS, the company does not appear to have a TDS (Technical Data Sheet) available for it, so I still don't know if this is a DTM (direct to metal) primer or not. Overall, I am pleased with the product. We'll see how the lower unit paint job holds up.

Coverage was below average. I was surprised by how red it was after paint had cured. The surface was what I would consider a semi gloss in execution rather than a matte finish as one might expect from a primer. I was able to scuff the surface prior to adding a top coat to achieve the tooth needed for good adhesion. Lots of spatter after the first coat.

Reading all the reviews first helped a lot. This was for an architectural hardware project that wanted durability and was not too concerned with surface perfection. So it seemed I would be ok and it was a good call. May not have been as happy if I was trying for an auto finish. I did not sand it before applying subsequent top coats. ( this was old work where I had sanded off rust and was wanting to seal it all well against future rust. Over this epoxy I used my conventional brushed acrylic primer and topcoat)The spray , using the flat fan head ( not the round pattern also provided) the feel is similar to a convention spray rig except for the closer distance it seems to like than with either that or typical rattle cans.I used a lot a patience to really shake it well as suggested in previous reviews and did some tests passes to clear any gunk. The coverage seemed good with each pass. I had some left in can after two coats on twelve complex surface post caps and four large strap hinges. For the most part the finish was quite good , basically as good as my non critical surface prep. Don't try and mist it, put down a wet coat.The instructions for puncturing the inner can (and the video) did not match the actual detail of the red cap on the can so I had some confusion and anxiety about that. The instructions do not show that the can comes with a white plastic sleeve under the red cap. It was hard to tell if that cap was meant to be a limiting device for the red cap travel when punched or if it was a safety that was supposed to be thrown away before use. When pulling the cover off the can it caused both the red cap and white sleeve to go flying. After some study I decided the white sleeve was a limiting stop and put it back in place with the red cap prior to the puncture maneuver. The problem is that you don't know if you have punctured the inner seal or not. And when the paint took and hour, instead of the advertised 30 minutes to set up I was quite concerned I had not mixed the hardener in ! However all was good, but didn't appreciate the stress.

Great tough paint. This is just FYI. To spray these few small inserts, one side only took a whole can. Not a criticism, just helpful info
