It says it's self-etching and sandable...Is the the best to use, or atleast, it won't hurt using this, right?

Thanks,

Roll with it.

Thank you for the info Eduardo, I did not know the other benefits of using etch, as opposed to say manually etching or an etching solution like POR has and then regular sandable primer. Cool, thanks

I've used Acetone in the past to clean the metal before priming /painting.

Would this be OK to use?

Thanks,

Yes.

Not sure if etch primer is necessary if you have a light scuff on the metal for regular sandable primer to adhere to.

Wipe em down with a prep to remove any oils from your hands and such. Use stuff like PRE from eastwood or equiv., prime, wet sand (me likes em glass smooth) and paint. Im no pro, but thats what im doin' soon as I get off my lazy arse.
