Its primer, you can spray onto it. Having said that it is grey, sometimes it is better to use a white primer before paint (like going dark to light), when I did some I used etch then standard white then painted. But you can paint onto etch, im sure.

Im going to spray the alloys an athratic grey colour. Would though grey primer will be ok. What is the best laquer to use?
