Horrible product, made worse by a horrible spray nozzle. It dumps paint into the top ridge of the can, then when you tip the can over your work surface it pours all over your surface. Total garbage.

Thank you for your feedback! For the best results with Rust-Oleum Automotive 2 in 1 Filler and Sandable Primer Spray, it is essential to hold the can 12-16" from the surface and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Make sure to keep the can the same distance from the surface and in motion while spraying. Two or more light coats should be applied a few minutes apart. Rustoleum

      I'm guessing people don't do prep work
      I've had no issues with this product. I started with 80 grit, hit the bare metal with their etching primer. Scuffed over that with 220, and then laid a coat of this. Scuffed that with 400, followed with another coat, and finished it with 600 prior to laying their sealer before a lacquer coat. Don't paint in cold weather, wipe between coats, it'll work fine

        amazing product!
        Dont have time or skill to bondo? Curved surface with cracks or unwanted texture? This is a good option! Do you have a plastic that other paint wont bond to? This is a good primer to make a paintable surface. Do you want to get rid of stippling? This can do that. Just know that it feels like a rubber when dry. Its not hard but a bit sponge like texture. Great to spray over foam to creat a smooth surface that you can paint as foam would not look good with just spray. It is a really good filler that dries smooth and is pliable and dries with flex when properly applied. It is sandable. Just dont use anything more aggressive than 220 grit. It’s great for sealing something that will move as it is flexible. Spacle will crack if used on a movable surface. It has many applications. I’m a painter in the film industry. I have to use paint in a lot of unconventional ways. This is a versatile product that is always on hand.

          Poor Coverage
          After following all directions on the can, applying 4 light coats, and letting it dry overnight, half of the product could simply be wiped away with my hand. Sanding was useless as it just took away almost all of the remaining primer instantly.

          Something is amiss here. If the Rust-Oleum Automotive 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable Primer is not adhering, then that means there is something on the surface preventing it from bonding. It is important to remove any previous waxes or sealers and ensure that the surface is made of a paintable material. Some types of plastics, for instance, are manufactured in a way that hinders paint adhesion. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5 Rustoleum

              I didn't use it for automotive purposes. Instead I use it for modeling and scenery primer in my hobby. It was recommended on several YouTube channels, and I was not disappointed! Excellent product that does what it is supposed to do!

              Good adhesion and fills in small imperfections. Sanded fairly well although it gunked up my P600 grit sandpaper quite often but that could be expected of all primers. My only complaint is the cans dont provide as much coverage as I expected so I needed more product and also the spray tip is only good for smaller projects.

              Thank you for sharing your experience, Armando! While Rust-Oleum Automotive 2 in 1 Filler and Sandable Primer Spray provides a tough, rust inhibitive base for most brands of automotive lacquers and enamels, we do recommend applying the topcoat in a test area first if using a different manufacture. You also want to ensure that the topcoat is suitable for use over this primer type as well.

              I need a filler/primer because I am trying to make picture frames and the wood grain was too rough. The paint works well. It goes on easily and wet sands well.

              I used this on several pieces over a weekend. It is VERY sensitive to humidity. I'm in the Southeast. Items painted before 2:00pm turned out great, but items painted after 5:00pm turned into mushy goo that had to be scraped off. Drying time was 8 hours minimum.

              Uh oh, that was not the intention! Please keep in mind that Rust-Oleum Automotive 2 in 1 Filler and Sandable Primer Spray should be applied when the temperature is between 50 to 90°F and the humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. The dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity. For the best results, make sure to allow the coating to dry for 2 to 4 hours before dry sanding. Rustoleum
