Review: Works good for automotive spot work - It’s really important to use a primer on metal to get the tooth down into the metal and the acid edge of this primer removes any type of oxidation coating between sanding the metal cleaning the metal and getting the metal painted so you get a good bond. this worked well on the finish ended up being very nice Review: PROP BUILDING MUST - I'm a cosplayer and I'm frequently making props and accessories for my next costumes, which heavy relies on post processing of my 3D prints. This fills in all the print lines while also laying down primer for your paint. It dries in a chalky layer that is easy to sand and won't come off in flakes. The color is a great neutral base to paint over. I recommend going in with a light hand as this stuff is thick and very covering! ## Features - Wet and dry sandable primer is suitable for use on wood, metal and fiberglass surfaces - Oil based paint with Stops Rust formula provides rust resistant base coat for cars, trucks and other vehicles - Covers up to 15 sq ft and dries to the touch (and can be recoated) in 10 minutes. - High quality spray paint ensures long lasting, durable coating - Provides superior top coat adhesion and flat finish yields a smooth surface when sanded ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003CT4AMU | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,716 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #16 in Spray Paint | | Brand | Rust-Oleum | | Brand Name | Rust-Oleum | | Color | Black | | Color Code | 000000 | | Container Type | Bottle | | Coverage | see package | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,900 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00020066188801 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Aerosol | | Item Type Name | Sandable Primer Spray Paint | | Item Volume | 12 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Manufacturer | Rust-Oleum | | Model Name | Automotive | | Model Number | 249418 | | Paint Type | Spray | | Part Number | 249418 | | Size | 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Rust Resistant | | Special Features | Rust Resistant | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior/Exterior | | Surface Recommendation | Fiberglass,Metal,Wood | | UPC | 020066188801 | | Unit Count | 12 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Rust-Oleum - **Color:** Black - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Item Volume:** 12 fluid ounces - **Paint Type:** Spray - **Size:** 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Rust Resistant - **Specific Uses For Product:** Interior/Exterior - **Surface Recommendation:** Fiberglass,Metal,Wood - **Unit Count:** 12 Ounce ## Images ![Rust-Oleum Automotive Sandable Primer Spray, Flat Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712bUF2WYKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I purchased this without realizing that this was automotive primer, or even what that was. Has anyone used this on plastic or acrylic?** A: Yes my husband used it as a primer for his warhammer 40k plastic pieces. On acrylic I am not sure. I know he removed the previous acrylic work and some acrylic still remained but the primer went nicely over it, but if it is a lot of acrylic then I am not sure how great of coverage will be achieved. **Q: is this a self etching primer?** A: I used this on the front of my horse trailer. It had been pitted by use on gravel roads and this worked wonders. I sprayed it last fall and it still looks great this spring. **Q: Is the "red" really red? The cap in the pic looks brown.** A: yeah, it's more like brown... same color of the cap of the spray can. **Q: Ive never used primer. Is it imperative that it not touch the paint/clearcoat of say, a car, around it?** A: It's basically paint so treat it accordingly. This primer has a VERY rough, almost gritty, finish. If you want a smooth finish you will have to do a TON of sanding! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good for automotive spot work *by A***W on August 20, 2026* It’s really important to use a primer on metal to get the tooth down into the metal and the acid edge of this primer removes any type of oxidation coating between sanding the metal cleaning the metal and getting the metal painted so you get a good bond. this worked well on the finish ended up being very nice ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PROP BUILDING MUST *by J***H on May 14, 2026* I'm a cosplayer and I'm frequently making props and accessories for my next costumes, which heavy relies on post processing of my 3D prints.
