Used to be great. It got reformulated and is now garbage...if you can even find it.

Not the primer but the no longer available OEM colors were the spray can paint I ever used.  Pretty sad they are gone.

I found a discount store a few years back that was selling the original formula. I grabbed all the primer & colors I could, at a $1.99 a can! Don't understand why a proven formula needed to be changed.

The reason why a proven formula is changed is for greater profit. New and improved means more profit not a better product.

Formulas are often changed to conform with environmental standards, which as a general rule, translates to an excrement product.

They should of just sold 2 versions like my favorite company CRC does with brakleen.  The red can = The BEST and the green can = Hot garbage so it can be sold like in Cali.

I still have a couple cans of the old formula primers... Hope they are still good...

Shake the old stuff up really well a couple of days before you intend to start using it.  You should be able to "roll" or "slide" the agitator around the bottom of the can.  If you can't do that, you've still got solids settled down there and you'll be spraying watery primer.
