Automotive Sandable Primer Spray Paint (Black)

Good product

Good quality and fast delivery

I recently switched from a grey primer to Rust-Oleum’s black sandable primer for all my 3D-printed helmets and props, and I’m genuinely impressed. First off, the price is great—this 12-ounce can won’t break the bank, even when you’re covering full-size pieces. I sprayed two light coats on a full-scale helmet and still had plenty left over for a half-scale mask, which felt like a real bargain compared to other brands I’ve tried.What really sold me was the spray consistency. The aerosol tip delivers a smooth, even mist every time—no sputtering, no drips, no frustrating runs to sand out later. Even on tricky curves and recessed details, the primer settles perfectly, filling in light layer lines without obscuring fine sculpting. It’s forgiving enough that you don’t need perfect technique to get a great result.But the best part? The deep matte black finish makes imperfections practically leap out at you once you start sanding. Any high spots, pinholes, or rough patches are instantly obvious against the dark background—something I missed for years when using lighter greys. That little bonus has saved me hours of worrying over unseen flaws and made my final paint jobs much smoother.If you’re serious about prop-making or automotive work on plastic—and especially if you’re on a budget—give this black primer a shot. It sands down silky smooth, bonds like a champ, and really highlights spots that need a little extra love. I’m sold: it’s affordable, effective, and has earned a permanent spot in my workshop. Five stars from this avid maker!

Love Rust-Oleum always. This stuff is always my go to for a black primer..can also use as a matte top coat. As long as you seal it with matte clear it comes out awesome as a top coat. Almost a satin. Fast shipping and great price!

Yes it’s a black primer and is not meant for color matching. So please don’t ask if it matches. It is primer, it is supposed to be an undercoat to be applied after sanding and before applying the actual paint. Rust-oleum is a name I’ve used for many projects and this one worked as advertised.

Good coverage and spray nozzle. Good paint consistency as well. The black color is also nice as it helped me spot any bald spots. Only thing is it honestly didn't make much of a difference when it came to helping the paint layer stick.
