I'm just getting started and would like to prime my parts if I can do with a rattle can. So I had settled on SEM Self Etching Primer. When looking at prices on AS, I saw this in the Q&A section:
"Q: Would SEM self etching primer be suitable to use on interior aluminum wing parts by itself for corrosion protection without any top coating?
A: Per supplier, I have spoken to many customers about this application and although it seems to work for them, Self Etching Primer is not intended to be used as a topcoat. My recommendation would be to use our EZ Coat product. It is a direct to metal and aluminum topcoat that has excellent adhesion and is available in 6 colors (Black, Olive Green, Light Green, Gray, Tan, Olive Brown)"
Has anyone used EZ Coat? They say it's "direct to metal" so I assume it's self-etching as well.
Both products say to clean the surface with a cleaner then sand with 320 grit. Is this how everyone is prepping for SEM Self-Etching Primer?
Thanks,
Dan
