U-POL Acid #8 is a 450ml etch primer aerosol that helps paint grip difficult bare metals such as aluminium and galvanised steel. It is the coat to put on small rub-throughs, where sanding has gone through the primer to bare metal, before the colour goes on, and it dries fast with no sanding needed.

Good to know

• Why use an etch primer? Bare aluminium and galvanised steel usually need an etch primer for paint to hold; ordinary primer on its own can peel off them later.
• Do I sand it? No; spray a thin, even coat over the bare spots only, let it dry, then carry on with the next coat your paint system calls for.
• Is it a filling primer? No, it goes on thin to promote grip, so dents and sanding scratches still need a high-build primer on top before the colour.

Which one?

For a 500ml can that also goes over filler, cured paint and G.R.P., U-POL Powercan Etch Primer (PCEP/AL); for filling minor marks, U-POL High5 Primer Grey (HIGHG/AL).
