Metal Etch Primer

Metal Etch Primer

Metal Etch Primer is specifically formulated to be applied directly onto metals such as galvanized steel, hot dipped treated metals, stainless steel, aluminium or other specialty metals where coatings may be difficult to adhere to. The product is ideal for use under Metal Treat or other top coats. Metal Etch Primer powerfully resists rust creep from travelling underneath the painted surface! However it breaths and allows moisture to escape. Together with our metal coat, it is the sure complete solution.

Metal Etch Primer is non-toxic and contains no solvent based products and is non toxic nor does it emit toxic fumes during application. It is a simple one part application direct from the bucket making it easy to use.

For rust treatment please read “Rust treatment methodology”.
