Does anyone know a good, cheap, self etching or zinc chromate primer? I feel like you get more bang for your buck without using rattle cans. Any input?
I got it at Boaters World before they went under.. they had it on sale. There are still a few stores open, and I think most of the stuff they have now is marked down even more
Just my .02, but the spray cans seemed like the way to go. Just did mine yesterday afternoon w/ rustoleum self etch. 4 cans at $4.50/ea. coverd my 14ft. MirroCraft w/ no problem. Guess it works out to about the same price as what russ said a qt. costs. Like I said, just my .02
there's no difference between the spray cans and rolling it... I would have sprayed it in my air gun had I known I could have thinned it out...
the spray rattle cans are good stuff too - just make sure you buy the $5 gun that you put them in that has a trigger... you won't be able to use your finger for about a week with out it - not to mention it goes on a lot smoother and faster.
