spray primer

Aerosol base coat

Spray primer is a preparatory coating applied from an aerosol can to surfaces before painting.

The primer improves paint adhesion and durability, seals porous materials, and provides a uniform base color.

Available in varieties for wood, metal, plastic, and other surfaces: I hit the rusty spots with spray primer before repainting the fence.
