U-POL Powercan Etch Primer is a 500ml aerosol for priming bare metal before paint or seam sealer, on bare steel, aluminium, galvanised and zinc-coated steel. It also goes over cured paint, polyester body filler and G.R.P., so one can covers a mixed repair, helping paint grip and stopping bare steel rusting.

Good to know

• Where does it go in a repair? On the bare metal rub-throughs left after sanding, on bare seams before seam sealer goes on, and on any exposed steel, ahead of your primer or colour.
• Can it go over filler as well as metal? Yes, polyester body filler and G.R.P. are both listed, so a repair with metal, filler and old paint showing can be etched in one pass.
• Does it fill scratches? No, etch primer goes on thin; for sanding marks and minor dents, follow it with a high-build primer and sand that smooth.

Which one?

For a 450ml etch primer for rub-throughs, U-POL Acid #8 (ACID/AL); to build and fill after etching, U-POL High5 Primer Grey (HIGHG/AL).
