## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value product. Does what it says on the tin!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 June 2026*

Very pleased with this primer. I used it to prime a couple of old two-gallon petrol cans that I'd stripped ready for restoration. The primer gave excellent coverage with no spray blockage. So far, one can has been used on two petrol cans, with three light coats on each. No issues when the topcoat is sprayed on. Would definitely buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!
