Krylon and Duplicolor Self-etching primers
 
Hello,
Wondering if anyone knows if this is the same product? I've found they are both made by SW, and I found an MSDS on te Duplicolor but can't find one for the Krylon. Krylon is cheaper by half at Lowes than Duplicolor at the auto stores.

Thanks!
Eric

I will only use Krylon rattle cans. Nothing else comes close.

I prefer the SEM brand self-etching primer sold in real auto paint stores.

Not usually found in a Lowes or Autozone.

I second this! Krylon is good for household projects and making things flat black other than that go with SEM.

Small town syndrome
 
We don't have many options for supplies in my town and other factors limit my ability to travel easily. I'll look at the SEM website and see if there are any local vendors.

Order SEM online
 
I?ve been ordering SEM products on Amazon... it?s actually cheaper, including shipping (with Prime), than the local auto paint specialty store.

I just ordered NAPA 7220 primer for about $9.00 a can.

Ditto for me.

+1 for the SEM self etching primer. I've purchased mine through National Tool Warehouse which was about $5.00 per can cheaper than my local auto paint store.

Yes, a good idea. I just did an Amazon re-order on the SEM self-etching primer.

Our local FinishMaster professional auto paint store isn't exactly low cost. :)

The SEM stuff is more expensive but is slightly compensated for by a 30% bigger can.
