Primer catastrophy

Needing some red oxide primer for the bottom of his boat, my dad drops into the local Halfords. They are out of stock.

He asks the staff, who check with the office. Red oxide primer is only available in brushable form.

This seems odd I think, so I Tweet @Halfords_uk for confirmation.

Hi @Practical_Phil! Thank you for taking the time to contact ourselves today! I'm afraid we do not sell the red oxide car primer in spray cans anymore. I hope this helps!

Noooooooo!

It looks like I'm going to have to find another supply of sprayable red oxide now.  (grumpy face) Pity as this is really good stuff and perfect for anti-fouling on the bottom of model boats.
