Mad Dog Primer

Does anyone have any experience with Mad Dog Primer? A buddy told me that it would be excellent for priming rod blanks before painting.

I am a painting contractor. If the MadDog he is referring to is the same that I use for exterior painting, it would be an awful idea. Rod paint would be way too hard of a finish to put over Mad Dog primer. The manufacturer does not even want oil paint or glossy latex enamels over it. It is a primer designed primarily for exterior wood that is prone to peeling problems.

I don't know much about painting. He just mentioned it was good primer. Do they possibly make more then one primer, maybe for other applications?

Mad Dog primers are all exterior wood problem surface primers. They just got bought out and is now Dura-prime for the regular primer, topline primer. 3 or so other versions of exterior primer.

Here is the line up prior to buyout: [maddogprimer.com]

None suitable to rod building IMHO.

Maybe there is another company with a completely different primer and a similar name.

Your Buddy was wrong! Primers are surface specific, and none of Mad dogs are suitable for rod blanks.
