Description
S.A.S Spray High Build Etch Primer – High Build Etch & Filler Primer – 500ml
SAS Spray High Build Etch Primer is a two-in-one primer and acid etch formulated for demanding metal preparation. First, it chemically etches metal surfaces for superior adhesion. Then, it builds film thickness to fill minor imperfections and provide a sandable matt finish. This makes sas etch primer ideal for automotive bodywork, fabrication, and metal repair tasks.

Key Features
- Dual-action formula – Combines acid etch and high build primer in a single aerosol for faster prep and fewer products to apply.
- High solids content – Contains roughly twice the paint solids of many conventional primers, giving better build per coat.
- Improved adhesion – Bonds effectively to difficult substrates such as aluminium, brass, copper and zinc-coated steel (Zintec).
- Excellent anti-sag – Enables thicker, high coat depths without runs, so you can rely on consistent coverage.
- Easy to sand – Dries to a smooth matt finish that sands readily to accept topcoat.
Why Use SAS Spray High Build Etch Primer?
- Faster workflow – By etching and building in one step you reduce labour and product changeovers.
- Trust on non-ferrous metals – Specifically formulated for aluminium and its alloys where conventional primers struggle.
- Better finish quality – High solids and anti-sag properties produce a uniform base for paint.
- Versatile – Also suitable for many rigid plastics, extending its usefulness beyond metalwork.
Application and Instructions
Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after the mixing ball moves free. Clean the surface, remove grease, oil and loose corrosion, and mask adjacent areas. Apply thin, even coats holding the can 20–30 cm from the surface. Build to the required film thickness, allowing flash-off between coats. Prime can be sanded once fully dry with fine abrasive. This product functions as an acid etch primer and high-build filler; therefore, follow the topcoat manufacturer’s overcoat times and recommendations.
