isn't all primer porous ?? allowing rust to form underneath?? i cringe every time is see a car in primer waiting to be painted and its out in the rain.I am sure its better than bare metal though!!

I use 2 pac epoxy etch and do all filler work over the top. Not sure about acrylic etch though. Ask Bomber.

Hi, NO to body filler over any cryl primer. Just rough it back up with the grinder before applying your body filler to a point where most of you etch has gone. Put primer/filler over your etch. Yes to spot putty over primer.
I hope this helps.

2 pac etch is ok to use under acylic ........according to the man bomber
forget spot putty...it's useless
use a 2 pack fine filler like dolfin glaze

First question, yes, but i hate acrylic etches.
Agreed with 2k fine filler.
I wouldent put bog over acrylic etch, chances are the bog will melt/frOck up the acrylic etch.
As said scuff it right back.
