Good
I bought this paint to use on my carâs wheels. I really liked it, except for the fact that the paint isnât shiny, but matte. The design didnât turn out as I expected, but itâs still a good product.

First step in a great paint job
I like to build scale model cars. In every build there comes a point where you paint your car. A good primer is the first step toward a good paint job. The Dupli-Color Sandable Primer is made for full-size cars but is excellent on scale models as well. It fills in previous sanding marks and then is sandable itself. Tamiya primer is considered by many to be the standard of the industry, but it only comes in a 6 oz. can at an average price of $12. The Dupli-Color Sandable Primer comes in a 12 oz. can and is $10.99. Twice as much for a dollar less. Sounds like win — win to me.

Good for the price
It worked well, and sanded well. It’s not the best looking, but when you get your paint over it it doesn’t affect that at all. It also dries pretty fast.

Works great for prepping miniatures and rigid artwork
Works great on plastic, resin, wood and pewter and sprays thinly enough that I use it on miniatures ranging from 1/9 scale to the tiny 1/64th scales, which puts my smaller sculptures at about the size of a coin. So long as you keep it to about 2-3 thin coats, this primer will preserve detail at that scale, which I found pleasantly surprising from a primer product that wasnât intentionally designed for miniature painting projects.The rust is my favorite for pewter minis as it has a stronger grip on pewter and so far hasnât scratched. Rust also offers the best tooth for airbrush acrylics and for hand painting oils (the hot rod grey also offers the same tooth if you donât want a red base to paint on). I also use these primers on cradled wood panels for quickly achieving colored grounds for acrylic and oil paintings.It gets along well with Testors Dullcoat sealer and Winsor and Newton Professional Picture Varnishes.If you filled seems or imperfections with Bondo, youâll likely need to spray additional layers over those areas to fully coat the Bondo and give a consistent ground for your paint, otherwise you may see the paint react to the Bondo. White primer will need more layers yet, both for consistency and to build enough opacity to cover the red of Bondo.

Frustration
I had a frustrating experience with this primer. The spray nozzle constantly gets stuck and ends up spitting paint everywhere instead of delivering a smooth spray. Once it starts spraying, I canât stop itâit just keeps going until it stops on its own, wasting a lot of primer in the process. This makes it messy and inefficient to use. Definitely not worth the hassle.
