I've seen various SC clk 430's on YouTube in the US.

2002 SL500, 216 CL500, all fully loaded
It is a very spray can epoxy and i do use this so can vouch for it,
but as i have spray guns i use the mix as you go stuff.
By the way There Lacquer system VHS is the doggy's do dah's
and will be using this for the project

When I was doing it all not that long ago the shelf life of the etch primers once mixed was about 24 hours max, how does this work in an aerosol

Its a single pack epoxy primer and not the 2 pack system Malcom,
so can have a long shelf life
