Where did you get your primer? Hal
PS: The Army used an acid primer back in the 1970's. They may still be using it. They sprayed my wheel weights 35 years ago and they still look good. I never put a finish coat on them. The primer was blue.

Hal

I went down to several of the parts stores till I found spray cans with etching pimer in them. For small items, I use spray cans. For larger areas, I buy it by the gallon at the automotive paint store. I did not want regular primer because I wanted good bonding. This stuff looks sorta like the zinc chromate that I use in the Aircraft business.

I doubt if you will have problems, particularly with the dilute spray can stuff, but I don't think you are supposed to use etch primer on cast because of the acidity, it can get in the pores in cast and lift the topcoat. Best to use epoxy primer. Etch primer is primarily for body shops that use it on new sheet metal so that they don't have to sand. However, I used to use phosphoric acid products on cast without problems, I don't anymore. Something to consider, I am by no means sure of this. But, epoxy will do as good as etch and has no potential problems that I am aware of.

I agree. Epoxy is good stuff. I use it on large area work...such as the block, frame etc. On these small pieces I have never had adverse experience.
