EkoPrime is a single-part, water-based primer designed for use on metal, composite, fabric, wood, vinyl, and many plastics. EkoPrime is primarily designed to provide very effective corrosion resistance for steel and aluminum surfaces and to create an excellent surface for EkoPoly Premium or EkoCrylic to adhere to. The sandability of EkoPrime is exceptional and it can normally be sanded 30-45 minutes after application. EkoPrime is also very flexible and may be used on fabric over EkoFill for the purpose of additional filling and sanding or to provide a light base color for bright colors.
EkoPrime is an excellent product for priming bare metal on steel tube fuselages as well as properly etched aluminum airframes. Steel tube fuselages should be also be top coated with EkoCrylic for maximum durability. It is acceptable to adhere fabric to EkoPrime using EkoBond. EkoPrime is a wonderful product for home builders due to the ability to pour it directly into the paint gun, spray small parts, and pour the remaining product back in to the can. As with all Stewart Systems products, the paint gun is then cleaned up with water. One limitation to EkoPrime is that it is not resistant to solvents. Lacquer thinner, MEK, or auto gas will attack it. If the primer will be left exposed in an area where it may come in contact with solvents or fuel, EkoPoxy would be a better fit. EkoPrime is available in four colors: white, smoke grey, charcoal, and zinc chromate green (tinted to simulate ZC primer and does not contain zinc chromate). |
It has no self levelling properties at all, but it is: easily applied, easily sanded, and is by far the easiest product to clean off spray equipment that Ive ever painted with.

This is not a high build primer at all, even out of the can it is already too thin to spray. It needed several coats, to build up a sandable surface. I stirred up all the solids in the can. Otherwise I think it would be a good product.
Stewart Systems Primer Sealer White Quart
Great products from Stewart Systems. Goes on smooth and covers and sands well. Best of all, no smell or harmful chemicals. This is not latex. Its only transferred with water. Love it.
Stewart Systems Primer Sealer White Quart
Easy to use, didnt totally stink up the booth, covered scratches beautifully straight out of the can, and made for an excellent finished product!
This stuff cant be beat. I can prime and paint in my attached garage with no worries about fumes or harmful chemicals going into the house. The other stuff is covered wagon technology.
Needed to fill the weave in 1.3 oz fiberglass cloth that was applied over birch plywood fuselage. Two coats did the job nicely without the need of heavy “filler” primers and then mucho sanding and contouring . I lightly sanded with 220 dry before painting, but believe I could have just painted over a smooth application of this primer/sealer. JJ Sinclair
Goes on easy, sands easy........doesn’t clog sandpaper........GOOD STUFF !

You must first prep before you apply the ekoprime.
Yes, it is sandable.
That is subjective per the vendor. Typically 300-600 sq feet, but it depends on what you are painting. Maybe less if he is wanting to fill and sand, or maybe more if he is just using it to cover EkoFill for a white base coat.
Yes, it is.
Yes this primer can be applied to a painted surface that has been sanded.
No, the uses are listed as Steel, Aluminum, Fiberglass, Wood, Plastics, Concrete, PVC, Pre-Finished Siding, Steel Decks.
