Review: Great Value for the price! Makes finish sanding EASY!! - I recently switched from a grey primer to Rust-Oleum’s black sandable primer for all my 3D-printed helmets and props, and I’m genuinely impressed. First off, the price is great—this 12-ounce can won’t break the bank, even when you’re covering full-size pieces. I sprayed two light coats on a full-scale helmet and still had plenty left over for a half-scale mask, which felt like a real bargain compared to other brands I’ve tried. What really sold me was the spray consistency. The aerosol tip delivers a smooth, even mist every time—no sputtering, no drips, no frustrating runs to sand out later. Even on tricky curves and recessed details, the primer settles perfectly, filling in light layer lines without obscuring fine sculpting. It’s forgiving enough that you don’t need perfect technique to get a great result. But the best part? The deep matte black finish makes imperfections practically leap out at you once you start sanding. Any high spots, pinholes, or rough patches are instantly obvious against the dark background—something I missed for years when using lighter greys. That little bonus has saved me hours of worrying over unseen flaws and made my final paint jobs much smoother. If you’re serious about prop-making or automotive work on plastic—and especially if you’re on a budget—give this black primer a shot. It sands down silky smooth, bonds like a champ, and really highlights spots that need a little extra love. I’m sold: it’s affordable, effective, and has earned a permanent spot in my workshop. Five stars from this avid maker!

## 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!
