A:  Hi Lemmy, thanks for the question. We have yet to test our products on cars or other moving vehicles. To do so would be experimental and not recommended. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. After priming with the Direct to Metal Primer, you can apply our exterior paints for the mural. I'd recommend our Marquee Exterior Enamel for the paint, as it is very durable and has excellent fade protection to help protect it against extreme weather. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Keri, thank you for your question. The primer can be used on metal; however, we do not have any products to recommend on bleachers, as bleachers will get a lot of traffic, including people stepping and standing on them. We do not have floor coatings that can be used on metal. I suggest checking with your local store for a recommendation on a suitable product to use. Have a great day! -Giovanna

A:  Hi Bryan, thanks for the question. Typically our products have a hard time adhering to silicone-based products. I'd recommend checking with the manufacturer to see if the silicone-based can be top-coated with a water-based primer. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. Our Metal Primer isn't a self-etching primer. It is a great choice to use on aluminum. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Ronald

A:  Hi Katrina, thanks for the question. For smooth surfaces such as metal cabinets, you would need to scuff sand them first to help with the adhesion of the primer. You can then use the paint of your choice to paint over the Direct to Metal Primer. Good luck painting your metal cabinets. -Ronald

A:  Hi Frank, thanks for the question. Yes, our Metal Primer is a great choice for priming stainless steel. Good luck with your project! -Ronald

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. We don't recommend using our products with HVLP sprayers as they tend to be thicker than what the sprayer will accept. We recommend using an airless sprayer with a .011 - .017-sized tip to spray the metal primer. Also if needed, you can thin the primer with up to 8 ounces of water per gallon. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Topher, thanks for your review. While our Metal Primer provides good coverage and does not leave brush marks, we don't recommend using it on a radiator. It's not designed for surfaces that become too hot to touch and may begin to fail if used. Instead, it's best to find a radiator primer for your project. Have a great day! -Christina
