The Pro Range Acid Etch Primer Aerosol is designed for professional tradespeople and automotive enthusiasts seeking a robust base for paint applications on metallic surfaces. It excels at providing superior adhesion and long-term corrosion resistance for challenging substrates like bare steel, aluminum, and galvanized metal. While it delivers a professional-grade finish, users must ensure they are working in a well-ventilated area due to the chemical nature of the aerosol and the need for proper respiratory protection.

No, you must remove loose rust and debris before application, as acid etch primer works best on clean, bare metal.
Yes, acid etch primer is a base layer designed for adhesion and corrosion protection, not as a finished topcoat.
While it is touch-dry in minutes, it is recommended to leave it for at least 30-60 minutes before applying topcoats, depending on ambient temperature.
Only if there is high-powered ventilation or extraction; always wear appropriate respiratory masks when spraying aerosols.
This primer is formulated for metallic surfaces and may not adhere properly to plastics; consider a dedicated plastic adhesion promoter instead.
Clear the nozzle by holding the can upside down and spraying until the mist runs clear.
The surface was likely not cleaned well enough; strip the area, degrease thoroughly, and reapply to bare metal.
The spray distance was too far; move closer to the surface on the next pass to ensure a wetter, smoother application.
Before spraying, ensure the metal surface is completely free of grease, oil, and loose debris using a degreaser. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes until the mixing ball rattles freely. Hold the nozzle 20-30cm from the surface, spraying in smooth, overlapping strokes. Compatibility is excellent with most high-quality automotive topcoats, but always perform a small test patch if unsure. After use, clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for 2 seconds to prevent internal blockage and preserve the valve for future projects.
