Krylon primer gray - 3.00 a can a walmart x 5 cans =18.97 plus tax lol.  did 4 thick coats in the engine bay and 2 coats in the wells. then scotch brited it with green and wiped it down with acetone.

that primer dries up so quick, and it never, i mean never grits up sandpaper, IDK but its +$5 everywere else.


WOW, Walmart has a big influance on big companies such as krylon, to make them sell for almost half!!!
