That sounds like a bad idea, rattle cans are mostly solvent and may or may not be compatible with what you put on next.

If you absolutely have to use a spray can primer, Eastwood has a 2K epoxy (in a can).
It has the hardener in an internal chamber that you pierce before using.
Say's 4 day pot life, but I had the best luck using it all up right away.
Beige color and sands pretty easy also.
Bit pricey.

Ok, thanks guys. .. I had thought the SEM primer was 'ok' compared to other spray can stuff. Thanks for providing the links, SuperL98.
