Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 12 oz. Flat Light Gray Automotive Primer Spray

Let's see if we can figure this out, Mikey! Please keep in mind that since this is a primer, we do recommend applying a topcoat to Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Automotive Primer Spray to ensure full adhesion and durability. If the primer is leaving a dusty residue on the surface, you are most likely experiencing dryspray. This occurs most often when users hold the can too far from the surface when spraying - our recommendation is 10-16" from the surface. Effects of dry spray can also happen when temperatures are too high or too low. You can try using a lint free rag slightly damp, and gently wipe the surface to remove the dusting. If it's still rough after doing that, you'll want to sand the surface with a 180 or 220 grit sandpaper and make sure it's clean and dry before recoating.

We may be able to help! In ideal conditions, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Automotive Primer Spray can be dry sand after 4 hours. If heavier coats were applied or the temperatures were cooler, we recommend adding some additional time to ensure the paint skin has formed.

Let's see if we can clear things up. While Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Automotive Primer can be recoated after 48 hours, if you sand this will reagitate the paint and essentially restart the recoat window. If the finish has not fully cured for at least 7 days then we do not recommend sanding between coats.
