    I just got my 1st can of roll on primer. Has anyone used roll on primer. This is made by transtar autobody and is a 2 part roll-it primer. It is fast drying and you can apply direct to metal and eliminate the need for a self etch primer.

    Is the roller a use once and toss it deal?
    can you "rag" it and do Faux finishes like in the bathroom?
     
  3. That stuff rocks! I've used it quite a bit. Sands nice, fills great.

    WOW! you can't even see the dents anymore. now THATS some good primer!! [​IMG] [​IMG]
     
  8. Dr,it's a two part urethane. Same as any good high fill spray on catalized primer. Slightly rougher surface than sprayed, so it takes a little more sanding(VERY little). No booth, no overspray, and no worries about moisture in your air system.
    I told you guys about this two years ago. Pay attention! [​IMG]

  10. Rollover repair in a can! How can you beat that! [​IMG]

    I had the truck for a year after paint, no shrinking, no die back. I was very happy with the stuff!
     
  11. Transtar is the brand. PPG has it too but it's not direct to metal. I get it at an automotive paint store. About 35 a qt, with catalist. It takes a foam one time use roller. I think they are about a buck each.
