Yep, primed at the QB factory with a Sherwin Williams wash primer.
It doesn't have a pigment (not a requirement like here in the states), so it appears clear.
I wasn't a big believer is something I couldn't see, so I performed a test on a QB piece. I dropped the factory primed piece into alumaprep and left it for 5 minutes. At that point I pulled it out and found the primer wrinkling. It then peeled off like a banana.
After seeing that there was something actually there, I had no worries about the primer.
For not having to go through the tedious processes of building a priming, it's time and money well spent.
