No, this product is specifically formulated for metals such as aluminum and bare steel; it may not adhere correctly to plastics.
Yes, light sanding or scuffing helps remove surface oxidation and provides a better profile for the etch primer to grip.
No, acid etch primer is intended for bare metal contact; applying it over existing paint can cause the chemicals to react negatively and wrinkle the finish.
Typically, two thin coats are sufficient to achieve the necessary protective layer without applying too much material.
Check the drying time on the label, but generally, wait until the primer is touch-dry and matte before applying your chosen topcoat.
Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying until clear, or soak the nozzle tip in a small amount of solvent.
The metal surface was likely contaminated with oil or grease before application; strip the area and clean thoroughly with a degreaser.
Increase the distance between the can and the project, and ensure the temperature is within the recommended range for spray products.
Before application, ensure the metal surface is completely free of grease, oil, and loose debris by using a degreaser. For aluminum, a light scuff with a fine-grade abrasive pad can improve adhesion. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the contents are thoroughly mixed. After finishing your project, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle, which prevents the internal tube from clogging during storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
