Finally making some progress you can see. PICS!
No, it's called Bare Metal Primer. It looks thick because I put two coats on. The stuff is hell to work with. It goes on nice but clean-up is real nasty. Deadly poison to. I got a couple of breaths of it during clean-up, it near knocked me off my feet. Needless to say, when you use this stuff, it is full face respirator time and a paint suit.
