2 pack etch is good. Only have to wait for 5mins in between wet coats. You could probialy get it put in a areosol at a decent paint shop.

what's 3 pack etch?!?!
Often we non-anglo guys don't understand a word of what you have written..!!

sometimes it even looks like some kind of sms/text-language:D:D

dunno about 3 pack, but 2 pack etch is a 2 part primer paint (chemical cure, as apposed to regular air drying evaporation cure) that eats into the surface of the metal to provide an excellent bond.
