Review: Don’t even bother with anything else - DupliColor is IT - DupliColor has done it again! This stuff is honestly a game-changer. So far, I’ve used it for repainting my Mazda emblems/badges (I jumped on the blackout bandwagon, no regrets!), as well as to help prep for a clear sealant coat on a craft project. Admittedly, it worked better on the car badges, but I can only assume that’s because I was able to sand before spraying this. It still worked great for both, and I certainly couldn’t have gotten durable results on the craft project without this, but a light pre-sanding is the way to go whenever possible. For the craft project, I needed to seal some vinyl lettering on a small metal sign. I bought it from the store pre-painted, and I’m not sure what type of paint was used, but it’s very durable and very smooth. Pre-scuffing before applying the vinyl wasn’t an option, and I was nervous that the clear coat would peel from the painted surface, so after applied the lettering, I sprayed it down with I think 3 light coats of this product. After applying several coats of a triple thick clear coat and letting it cure for a week, I have had ZERO issues with anything. No flaking, peeling, lifting or adhesion failure at all. And the adhesion promoter is crystal clear and goes on so smooth that you can’t even tell it’s under the clear coat. It lays down REALLY well; doesn’t leave any weird texture or anything, and a little goes a long way (at least, for my smaller jobs; I can’t really speak to the coverage per can on larger jobs like auto body panels/bumpers/etc.) I just bought another can of it as I’m planning to paint my clear acrylic makeup organizers when I refinish my vanity. I WILL say, though - this stuff has a VERY strong smell that lingers, so make sure you’re using it in a well ventilated area with a good crossflow of air, and wear a high quality respirator mask with clean filters rated for organic vapors. I like the 3M 6001 with the kit that allows you to clip on a P95-P100 filter in front of the vapor filter. The strong smell is really the only downside to this stuff, but it’s worth ‘fumigating’ the garage for final results that look great and hold up extremely well! I’ve not once bought a DupliColor product and wound up disappointed or underwhelmed. There are MANY reasons why the DIY automotive community consistently recommends their products, and this hella smelly miracle in a rattle can is one of ‘em!
Review: Helpful auto primer for daily use - Noticed that this adhesion promoter works well when I’m doing touch-ups on my car. it sprays evenly and helps the paint stick better, especially on tricky areas. just a quick spray before the color coat makes a noticeable difference. i’ve used it during weekend projects in the garage and am glad it’s reliable. simple to apply and seems to improve the overall finish. can definitely recommend for anyone working on car repairs or refinishing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: After applying this to bare plastic, do I need a primer before the base coat? Or can I just apply the base color coat to this?**
A: What this stuff does is essentially chemically break down the surface of the plastic so that when you paint, which you must do immediately, the color binds with the dissolved plastic and as the adhesion promoter dries/evaporates you are left with a surface where the plastic material and the foreign material (paint) is dissolved together. This allows the next coat to bind with the first coat and the third coat to bind with the second and so on.  Don't wait for this stuff to dry.  Follow the directions on the can carefully.  If you let it dry then the plastic has already re-formed and your first coat is not going to bind.

**Q: Just curious.  Does the product's label indicate how much area 1 can covers?  Thanks in advance.**
A: The back label states that it covers 12-14 square feet.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Can you use with Auto Air Colors?**
A: As long as you use it over plastic and foll the instructions, yes. I let it just det dry to the point that it doesn't look wet and start painting. I have used it for years an had zero adhesion failures on plastics.

**Q: I was looking online for how to save and seal a rusted patina.  Automotive spray sealers came up, and I'll add this first. Thoughts?**
A: I used this product as a primer when painting old vinyl faux shutters on my house. The surface was "chalky" and I was worried about long term adhesion of my color choice. I used TSP to wash them, then primed them with this stuff, one good coat. Then 2 coats of aerosol paint. They look great a year later.  It gave the shutters a "tacky" feel when dry and the paint adhered well. Gotta follow the directions which require the paint be applied within 10 minutes as I recall. It's not intended as a finish coat. It did dry clear so it may suit your needs.  Good luck. I priced it around and found it a lot cheaper at a big hardware/farm supply store.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Adhesion and Smooth Finish!
*by M***E on April 24, 2025*

I recently used the Dupli-Color ECP199 Adhesion Promoter before painting my car, and I’m really impressed with the results. This product works exactly as advertised, providing excellent adhesion for automotive paint. I used it on plastic trim and metal parts, and the paint went on so much smoother and more evenly than when I didn’t use it. The aerosol can makes it super easy to apply, and the clear formula means no visible color change on the surface. I noticed the paint adhered much better, with no peeling or chipping after several weeks of exposure to the elements. It dries fast, and I was able to apply multiple coats of paint without worrying about the primer disrupting the finish. The 11 oz. can provides plenty of coverage, and the price is reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommend this for anyone planning to paint automotive parts — it definitely makes a difference in the longevity and quality of the finish!
