My e-mail and Dan's crossed in the mail. This was what I was talking about.
Cept I had not heard about the roll it on type. All I've used is sprayed on as
you would normally apply primer. However, that's the primer. One of the local
body shops here that does a lot of old car work swears by it as well the local
paint dealer. It's what I have been using for the past 2 or 3 years and have
had no problem. Also, local Porsche restorer is using it on early Porsche
repaints. Great thing about it is you don't have to use a self etching primer
and the biggy is that you don't have to shoot a sealer on it.
It also is extremely heavy build and sands very nicely.
