FAQs

Can this primer be used on plastic parts?

No, this product is specifically formulated for steel and cast iron metal substrates.

How many coats should I apply?

For best coverage and corrosion protection, two to three thin, even coats are recommended, allowing for drying time between each.

What topcoats are compatible with this primer?

This primer is compatible with acrylic, alkyd, cellulose, and epoxy paints.

Do I need to sand the primer before painting?

For a showroom-quality finish, it is recommended to lightly sand the primer with fine-grit sandpaper once dry to ensure a perfectly smooth surface.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but full curing time depends on ambient temperature and humidity. Always check for surface dryness before overcoating.

Troubleshooting

Rough finish after spraying

Hold the can at the recommended 15-20 cm distance; spraying too far away causes the droplets to dry before hitting the surface.

Paint bubbling or peeling

This is usually caused by inadequate surface cleaning. Ensure all oil, wax, and silicone are removed with a degreaser before applying.

Nozzle clogging

Clean the nozzle by turning the can upside down and pressing the actuator until clear propellant sprays out, or soak the nozzle in thinners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on metal surfaces
  • Provides reliable anti-corrosion protection
  • Compatible with most common paint types
  • Durable and scratch-resistant finish
  • Fast drying time for efficient workflows

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation
  • Limited to metal-specific applications
  • Requires vigorous shaking for two minutes
  • Black color may require more topcoat layers for light-colored paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by degreasing the metal surface using a dedicated automotive wax and grease remover. Once clean, mask off any surrounding areas to prevent overspray. Shake the 500ml container vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Hold the can 15 to 20 cm from the surface and apply using a steady crosswise motion, overlapping each pass slightly. After use, clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
