RE: etching primer

etching primer is for bare metal. It acts as a sealant. You can also use epoxy primer for bare metal. You still need to use a filler primer over it to get a smooth finish.

RE: etching primer

etching primer sucks. It's too damn hard to sand, and it gums up sandpaper too easy. i hate it.

etching primer is not a sealant neither is primer thay both absorb water and will rust back through if not topcoated
