Overview

U-POL ACID#8 Acid Etch Primer is a high‑performance aerosol designed to etch and prime bare metal in a single step. Its phosphoric acid ester chemistry targets tough surfaces such as galvanized steel and aluminum, helping to create a solid foundation before color application. This etch primer forms a durable, anti‑corrosive barrier that can help slow the onset of rust on metalwork and extend the life of treated panels.

The primer is engineered with a flat fan high atomization nozzle that delivers a large, even spray pattern. The result is efficient coverage with fewer passes, contributing to a smoother, more professional finish. Importantly, sanding is not required and the product can be topcoated directly, simplifying workflows and saving time in busy shop environments.

Key Benefits

  • Strong adhesion on galvanized steel and aluminum for new bare metal panels and rub-throughs
  • One‑step etch and prime process streamlines application
  • Anti‑corrosive barrier protects metal surfaces from rust and deterioration
  • Flat fan nozzle and high atomization provide a large, even spray pattern
  • No sanding needed; direct topcoat is possible for a smoother finish
  • Backed by U‑POL, a recognized name in automotive refinishing with a broad product range

Ideal Uses

  • New bare metal panels waiting for color
  • Rub-throughs in primer before applying final coatings
  • Galvanized steel and aluminum components exposed to challenging conditions
  • Applications where time efficiency and a clean, even finish matter most

How to Use

  • Apply in smooth, sweeping motions to achieve a large, even spray pattern
  • Allow the coating to set and then topcoat directly without any sanding
  • Follow standard finishing steps for subsequent coats as needed

Brand Confidence
