Eastwood Gray Self-Etching Primer

Lay the foundation for a great paint job by starting with our self-etch primer. It’s made with a true acid-etching formula that sticks to virtually any clean, bare and rust-free metal to improve adhesion and durability of most non-epoxy topcoats. As a single-stage etching primer, no catalyst is needed, simplifying the painting process so you can get project cars on the road sooner.

Our easy-to-use aerosol etches and primes bare, rust-free metal in one step. Adheres to steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized steel. With the exception of our Chassis Black line, self-etch primer is compatible with virtually any non-epoxy paint or auto finish. This includes our huge lines of single-stage urethane and acrylic lacquer automotive paints. The self-etching formula bonds better to bare metals than other aerosol primers.

Self-etching primer spray cans cover about 10 square feet, making them the right choice for body repairs and small jobs. A one-gallon gray primer can will get an entire vehicle ready for the base coat. Eastwood backs both with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and lifetime tech support.
