## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price went up.
*by D***N on June 29, 2025*

Great primer ,I want to buy 2 more cans my 1st order was $31.00 ,now it's $ 83.00 .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good paint, but DO NOT POUR INTO A PLASTIC CONTAINER. USE METAL CONTAINER.
*by J***. on March 19, 2021*

The paint worked well enough as an adhesive for metal flake, but the problem I found almost immediately is that there is a possibility that this paint contains Toulene or some other component that will melt through plastic very quickly. Having never used this sort of paint before, I promptly ended up with black paint all over my legs and my sidewalk. I used some gasoline to get the paint off my legs and the sidewalk. The paint also mixes very cold in a metal can, almost frost temperature. And the paint gives off a smell that may give you a headache after a while so I'd use it outside definitely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and drys fast
*by B***Y on March 12, 2020*

I used this on tile paint on the floor. It is holding up very well. It drys fast and seems to be very durable. I believe it is acetone based and thus VERY caustic to previous paints. If this is going over oil base paint it has to be several days dry as does epoxy based paint. I would definitely test on a test block. I'm not sure I would even attempt using this on latex paint. But it does dry fast and glossy. Have plenty of ventilation.
