Remember "Hot Rod " Primer?

[Greg Myers]

I was wondering about this awhile back. What ever happened to "Hot Rod" primer? In my youth, that's all one used. My first 1:1 paint job I used Hot Rod primer. It even said so on the cans.

yes, i still have a few cans of it out in the garage and i believe it's still available. about the worst covering stuff i've ever used too.

Aw, such fond memories. I'm thinking of my high school days, early sixties. No, I wouldn't think it would cover too well now.

it does work well for "dust coats"....right before the final blocking

Praise be modern spray can nozzles!

DupliColor has a Hot Rod Grey Primer, really nice shade of dark grey and works just like all of their other primers

Got a bottle of it on my bench right now. The old plastic Pactra bottle, and it is still in really good condition.

Yep- any place that carries DupliColor should stock it, or at least be able to order it for you. I've always got a can or two of it on hand!
