Product Information
Full details
This Pro-Kleen Bright Zinc Galvanising spray is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking to quickly touch up damaged galvanised surfaces. Its key benefit is providing superior rust and corrosion protection with an accurate colour match to standard galvanised steel, serving as an all-in-one primer and topcoat. A potential caveat is that while it matches standard galvanised steel, specific colour matching to older or weathered surfaces may require testing.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use Pro-Kleen Zinc Galvanising Spray on?
This spray is specifically designed for galvanised steel. It is ideal for touching up welding joints, cut ends, or areas where the galvanised coating has been scratched or damaged on ferrous metal structures.
How long does it take to dry?
The Pro-Kleen Zinc Galvanising Spray is touch dry in approximately 30 minutes under normal conditions. Full curing may take longer.
Can this be used as a primer and topcoat?
Yes, the formulation acts as an all-in-one primer and topcoat, providing both protection and a suitable finish in a single product.
What is the best way to prepare the surface before spraying?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and loose paint. Lightly abrading the surface with sandpaper will significantly improve adhesion.
How should I clean the nozzle after use?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant comes out. This prevents the nozzle from becoming blocked for future use.
Does this spray offer long-term protection?
Yes, it provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, offering a long-life expectancy and resistance to mechanical damage, similar to traditional galvanising.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is designed to protect galvanised structures from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not spraying evenly.
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent (e.g., thinner) then reattach. Ensure the mixing ball is free within the can.
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply thinner coats. Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (25-30 cm) from the surface. Avoid over-application in one go.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from grease or rust. Lightly abrading the surface before application can improve adhesion.
Colour does not match existing galvanising.
Colour matching can be affected by the age and condition of the original galvanising. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Apply thin, even coats for a more consistent finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent rust and corrosion resistance.
- Matches the colour of standard galvanised steel for discreet repairs.
- Acts as both primer and topcoat, simplifying application.
- Fast-drying formula speeds up project completion.
- Durable finish comparable to original galvanising.
- Cost-effective solution for protecting metal.
Cons
- May not perfectly match aged or weathered galvanised surfaces.
- Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- Not intended for use on non-ferrous metals or plastics.
- Ventilation is required during application.
- Color match might vary slightly depending on application thickness.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, oil, and loose paint. For best results, lightly abrade the surface with sandpaper.
- Shake: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after hearing the mixing ball rattle. Shake periodically during use.
- Application: Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) from the surface. Apply in smooth, even strokes, using a steady back-and-forth motion. Apply thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat.
- Multiple Coats: If applying a second coat, wait at least 15-30 minutes between coats. Allow for full drying before exposing to heavy wear.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use on ferrous metals, particularly galvanised steel.
- Ideal for touch-up work on welding joints, cut ends, and scratched surfaces of galvanised structures.
- Not recommended for use on aluminium, plastic, or previously painted surfaces unless the paint is specifically designed for such applications.
Care:
- Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- After use, clean the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges. This prevents blockages.
- Keep out of reach of children.
