Default Paint question

Does anyone make a enamel primer surfacer in a spray can? Local stores around here just have lacquer primer surfacer. I need enamel.

just a question, why do you want enamel primer surfacer. normally you can not sand straight enamel without wet sanding it. the Auto body paint supply co, that I use can put almost any kind of paint in a rattle can as long as it is not catalyzed. you should check around your area for a Auto body paint supply near you.

Rustoleum makes a primer surfaces that isn't too bad. I use it for the small parts. Sands well, but stinks.

I have a 3 speed 17 CFM through the wall 3 speed fan that solves that problem.

It does not use lacquer for the propellant. I think it's something else that dries just a little slower than lacquer would. Can't beat the price. Comes in black; rust red and light grey.
