Sandable Primer

Duplicolor goes on fine so if you are a heavy-handed sprayer, this will take some getting used to. Because it goes on fine you have so much more control. I find the cans to be slightly temperamental with regard to what angle you hold them at, which can be frustrating. They prefer to be held level (most cans do). Really high end paint, works on plastic, make sure your surface is very clean and "open" i.e. are to accept a primer or other substance. If you are working with a very smooth and shiny surface, fine sanding before application may improve your end result.

it did a great job

Good sandable primer, dries family quickly and has good adhesion. Paint thickness and coverage is fair but not spectacular. It's durable and a fair price compared to other primers. Overall a good performer.

I scuffed a brand new panel for my vehicle with 600grit, cleaned the surface thoroughly and used this primer sealer before paint. It worked perfectly in a 70deg environment with no runs. I applied it light and dry for the first coat and then heavier on the second and third coat. It worked great! I sprayed it in 10min intervals then applied a color coat after about 30minutes of letting it dry. Pictures attached are what my fender looks like after using this sealer in an old garage.....

I like to build scale model cars. In every build there comes a point where you paint your car. A good primer is the first step toward a good paint job. The Dupli-Color Sandable Primer is made for full-size cars but is excellent on scale models as well. It fills in previous sanding marks and then is sandable itself. Tamiya primer is considered by many to be the standard of the industry, but it only comes in a 6 oz. can at an average price of $12. The Dupli-Color Sandable Primer comes in a 12 oz. can and is $10.99. Twice as much for a dollar less. Sounds like win -- win to me.

Good product

Absolutely the WORST primer on the planet! BEWARE! The spray nozzles malfunction, causing excessive messes! First can started hissing and spraying paint out the nozzle without the nozzle needing to be depressed, almost spraying paint in my face and eyes. Dropped the can and it burst, spraying paint all over my dining room concrete tiled floor, my wooden cabinets, and surrounding fixtures. Contacted Dupli-Color and their customer service representative was ignorant and refused to address the issue. Sent the employee near 40 photos of the mess and asked for help and the employee wanted me to play in the mess to get him more photos. In the end, the employee stopped contacting me and outright refused to help me. This is how major companies get sued.... it's called liability! Sherwin Williams , the owner of Dupli Color paints should be recalling this product for it's major issues!

Good for what I needed it for
