Hycote Gray Primer Spray Paint, Automotive Primer for Metal, Fiberglass & Rigid Plastic Surfaces, Fast Drying Smooth Base Coat for Improved Paint Adhesion, 13.5 Oz

This high-build aerosol primer is a great choice for anyone doing bodywork, restoration, or refinishing projects where surface prep really matters. The spray pattern is consistent and fine, which makes it easy to lay down even coats without runs or patchiness. It builds thickness quickly, allowing you to fill minor sanding scratches and surface imperfections in just a couple of passes. The drying time is ideal—not too fast to cause dry spray and not too slow to hold up your workflow. After curing, it sands beautifully, producing a smooth, powdery surface that is ready for paint. It adheres well to metal, plastic, and fiberglass, and I’ve had no issues with lifting or compatibility when applying base coat or color over it. Another advantage is how durable the finish is once cured. It holds up well to handling and doesn’t clog sandpaper like cheaper primers often do. The nozzle sprays evenly from start to finish, and the can has a solid feel that suggests good internal pressure and product quality. In short, this is a professional-grade primer in a convenient aerosol format. It’s ideal for auto touch-ups, hobby work, or any situation where you want a clean, level foundation before painting. The combination of build quality, smooth sanding, and dependable adhesion makes it well worth keeping in the shop.

Pretty pleased. Good coverage, drys quick, nozzle never even hinted at clogging. I wouldn't be mad if it had a little more solids in it, but over all I'm pleased. I liked it enough that I bought another can when I finished the first one. I'm new to 3D printing, but have some model building experience. This and some sand paper helped me get rid of layer lines on some 3D printed Velociraptor skull fossils I made for Christmas gifts. It claims to be a "high build" but it doesn't go on real thick like some other products I've used. I've used Rust Oleum and SEM high build primers for other projects, while they maybe go on thicker, I've had nozzle clogging issues with both. I'm on my second can of Hycote and have yet to have any clogging issues. I'll probably buy more when I need it.

I use a lot of various automotive paints. I have access to the best from Germany. These Hycote paints are really good - great spray pattern for consistent coverage, very good adhesion and good durability. This etching primer is the same. A solid choice.

I crashed my 1996 Mercury sable into a telephone pole at 40mph while trying to both drive and put on my super hero costume (a little irresponsible, I know!) Anyway this high build primer was super helpfull repairing the cosmetic damage, it took about 400 cans but cheaper than a bodyshop I was able to sand and form the front end back into shape. Good stuff, I also found the fumes really took the edge off after a long day of fighting crime.

Excellent base for refurbing my boat's plastic console that has faded. Cleaned and lightly prepped with 220, this laid down very nicely, smooth and without spray pain sputters or issue. Excellent adhesion and very pleased with the results.

Great primer for plastic type applications

Had a problem with one of my cans being a dead can but the cans that worked were wonderful

great product. worked as expected. used it for my front bumper paint - I over sanded the spot, and black plastic exposed, had to pray it before the color coat.

Absolutnie nie polecam. Konsystencja jest jak woda, źle kryje kolorowe powierzchnie, przy szlifowaniu schodzi całkiem a przeważnie narożniki i do tego odpryskuje.

Ho utilizzato questo primer spray per preparare superfici in plastica prima della verniciatura e il risultato è stato molto buono. L’applicazione è semplice e lo spray distribuisce il prodotto in modo uniforme senza creare colature se applicato correttamente. Asciuga abbastanza velocemente e crea una buona base che migliora l’adesione della vernice successiva. Il colore bianco aiuta anche a uniformare la superficie prima della finitura. La bomboletta da 400 ml ha una buona resa e permette di coprire diverse superfici. Ideale per piccoli lavori di fai-da-te, modellismo o ripristino di parti in plastica. Nel complesso un prodotto pratico e di buona qualità.

Très bon produit recouvre bien et peinture ok à la suite. ( impression 3D )

Ottimo prodotto per chi cerca un primer filler per perfezionare le stampe 3D! Stavo cercando qualcosa che mi aiutasse a riempire quei punti difficili da levigare con la carta vetrata nelle mie stampe 3D, e devo dire che questo prodotto è davvero eccellente. Riempe perfettamente le piccole imperfezioni, migliorando la superficie e garantendo una migliore adesione della vernice. Consigliatissimo per chi vuole dare un tocco professionale alle proprie stampe!

good product
