Having splashed out on a new stainless steel petrol tank I want to be sure I get the correct etching primer.

I am painting the car in cellulose paint.

Could someone advise me of a suitable product please?

SS resists normal etch primer, you could add some additional phosphoric acid to off the shelf etch primer, or use something like this galvanized etch primer:

or

As long as the etch primer is not oil based , cellulose over it will be fine.

As it happens I have placed an order for 3 spray cans of Jenolite primer.

I have also just discovered that the epoxy primer I have been using is also suitable for stainless.

I tend to rush into buying things
