I am getting ready to spray some small parts; brackets, heater fan housing, power steering pump pully, etc. After blasting/cleaning what kind of primer (spray can) would be best to use under the top coat?

Top coats will be Eastwood's Underhood Black (firewall, fan housing, etc) and a good quality black gloss.

Recomendations please!

Anyone? Just curious if I should use any specific type or if general use primer will do just fine.

Thanks...

a self ethching prime would be good.its available in spray cans from eastwood.

self etching primer or an epoxy primer is perfect for bare or sandblasted metal, also POR-15 is great too.
I did all my pulleys and brackets with it, then went over evrything with their chassis coat black. it all looks factory.

Dan,

I used Plasti Coat Rust inhibitive Sandable Primer. Went on great. Being a lacquer base it dries quickly and can be coated within 30 minutes. I lightly sanded with 400 and top coated with Eastwoods Underhood. I found three to four coats of Eastwoods gives a great finish. Between the primer and the Eastwoods, the finish is smooth and satin.

I used it on my control arms and chassis, but top coated those with Eastwoods Chassis Black.

You can see some of the parts on my web page.
