Hey guys I'm new and hoping I'm doing this right. I did a quick search on the site for "primer" and nothing obvious came up.
My question is if anyone knows a good primer that can be used on a piece that is mixed media. For instance I'm ready to paint a helmet that is part ABS (old softball helmet), part fiberglass, part metal (mild steel, and a couple unknown metals that I suspect might be zinc (a plated radio knob) or galvanized (electrical conduit).
I did some searching and Rustoleum has a Universal Bonding Primer that seems great....and also too good to be true. Anyone use this or can you recommend a great all around primer that you have used from experience. I get nervous about "all in one" products and wonder if it would be better to get a plastic primer, self etching primer (for bare metal), adhesion promoter (for plastic and fiberglass), etc. and mask and treat each material separately (which would suck.).
Any expertise would be appreciated thanks.
