STOPS RUST® SPRAY PAINT AND RUST PREVENTION Universal Bonding Primer White 285011-12 oz. Spray

This is by far the best Rustoleum product I've ever used. It sticks to everything I've tried -- bare metal, painted metal, wood, particle board, melamine, plastic -- you name it. It levels well, it covers well, and it works well as a primer (preparing a surface for paint). It dries to the touch in an hour and the best part is (unlike all the other Rustoleum paints and primers I've used) you can TOPCOAT ANYTIME. (Other products require you to topcoat within an hour or wait 24 (and even 48) hours before top-coating -- woe to any painter who tries to recoat within the prohibited window. Having to wait that long before top-coating means that even small paint projects can drag out into days and even weeks.)The only downsides to this primer are:* It's more expensive than similar products* A can doesn't go far (Rustoleum says it will cover 10 sq. ft. but that's not much and I'm sure they mean a flat continuous surface, not a 3D one)* It's hard to find. Stores don't stock it because there's not much demand for it. There's not much demand for it because people don't know about it.* It's extremely smelly and should be used outdoors or in a very well-ventilated space. Be sure to use a mask. I used it in my basement with the door closed. and afterward I could smell it on both the first and second floor.Rustoleum intended this primer for difficult-to-paint surfaces, but I now use it for other projects (when I can get it) because of the fast recoat time.Note: You can also get this in a 1-quart (32 oz.) can, which may be more economical because spraying can waste a lot of paint. Both the spray and the brushable versions come in white and gray.

This is by far the best spray paint white primer.It is VERY EASY to apply and dries quickly. You can recoat ANYTIME without having to follow strict rules. It is the only primer that creates such a fantastic bond between the surface and top coat. It even works great on fiberglass. I build hobbiest model flying rockets. The fiberglass tubes take a licking without damage because of this primer.

Great product

I had some trouble getting even coverage on my upcycled bike chain ornaments, but overall it worked well. Sometimes I'd have to go in again when the first pass didn't cover, and sometimes there would be pooling. Dry time took longer than expected, do not handle before fully dry because it will stick and peel off.I would use it again, but I would also consider buying something else if the price was right.

Purchased two cans for a project. Can one was probably the worst spray can primer I have ever used. Spit, Sputtered and splattered. Can two was the smoothest flowing most even coat I have ever gotten out of a spray can primer. Maybe just a random bad can...I don't know...But I wont be flipping a coin to find out next time. 2 Cans...One garbage, and another great stuff.
