You really have to read the characteristics and specifications of the products.
Spies Hecker Have a product called 'red brown' primer and it is a two pack red oxide that etches really well. I thouroughly recommend it and it has a good reputation. Used by a lot of professionals and resto shops. Cost you a couple of hundred to do a car. Also need breathing protection as it is a two pack
You mention spray cans. Well I dunno. I always use spray guns in spray booths when painting so a can in a garage is not something I know a lot about.

I'm only painting little things like trailing arms, spring plates, steering box etc.
Just wondering what primer is best for when I sandblast the little things and give them a fresh coat of paint.
thats why Im using cans, and 2-pac would be way to much effort!

When doing that sort of thing I always get it powder coated where practical and if painting I use Darbys (opp Kardinia Park)
There good on advice (not the young lad dum as dog shit ) and ask for trade
I have been buying cans cheaper than Bunnings and better quality.

I'd be interested in the rattle can products, especially for priming small body and chassis areas to protect them.
Anyone recommend a good primer/etcher in a can?
Cheers
