Pretty good!
5 months ago
Pretty good for what it is. Goes on very easily.
Atomizer: good with even distribution. OCCASIONALLY will come out in blobs but I’m not as bothered because it’s just a primer. Doesn’t blob as much as the spray paint does.
Can size: VERY good. Was able to prime both of my ready-paint side skirts for my 8th gen civic. Still had some leftover
Yes, I recommend this product.

FANTASTIC primer
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used other more expensive adhesion promoters, but Dupli color performs better and makes the finish smoother and confidently adhere to the surface.

Q: can this be used on an epoxy resis surface to prep for a 2k spray finish?
5 years ago
1 Answer
A: We do not have any types of epoxy resins or 2k clears in our product offerings so we do not have any information on if our products would be compatible with either type of these products. The only thing we can recommend is that if the customer is insistent on using the Adhesion Promoter on the surface that they test on a piece of scrap material.

It’s already prime painted by the manufacturer. Will this product prevent the final finishing coat from peeling off?
