Etch primer is an acid based paint used to seal bare metal...

You need etch primer to paint onto aluminium - the acid eats away the oxide layer covering the metal in order to get a good key. If you don't use it, the paint will just flake off.

As for normal ferrous metals, I don't think you need the etch primer.

I was going to bare metal my car before the re-spray. It was recomended that I etch primered it before hand.
