The PlastiKote Metal Primer in Grey is designed for users needing ultimate metal protection, especially on areas with moderate corrosion. Its key benefit is a non-sanding formula that offers quick and easy application with fast drying times. A caveat is its specific suitability for moderate corrosion, not heavily rusted surfaces.

No, this primer is specifically formulated for metal surfaces and is not recommended for use on plastic or wood.
Generally, one good, even coat is sufficient. However, for areas with moderate corrosion or to ensure maximum adhesion, a second thin coat can be applied after the first has dried.
You can use most types of topcoats, including enamel, acrylic, and other suitable metal paints, once the primer is fully dry.
The primer is touch dry in approximately 15-20 minutes and ready for recoating in about 1 hour, depending on temperature and humidity.
This primer is designed for areas of *moderate* corrosion. For heavily rusted surfaces, it is essential to remove as much loose rust as possible with mechanical means (wire brush, sandpaper) before applying the primer.
No, a key feature of this primer is its non-sanding formula, meaning you do not need to sand bare metal before application, provided it is clean and dry.
A 400ml can typically covers approximately 1-2 square meters, depending on the surface porosity and application thickness.
Shake the can more vigorously. If the issue persists, the nozzle may be blocked. Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear it. If still blocked, consider replacing the nozzle if possible or using a new can.
Ensure the metal surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any grease, oil, or contaminants. Re-apply after ensuring proper surface preparation.
Apply the primer in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much product at once. If runs occur, allow to dry and gently sand the area smooth before re-applying.
This primer is for moderate corrosion. For heavily rusted areas, remove loose rust thoroughly with a wire brush or sandpaper before applying the primer. A second coat might be necessary.
Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose rust. For best results, apply in well-ventilated conditions and at temperatures between 10-30°C.
Compatibility: This primer is designed for use on bare metal and previously painted metal surfaces that are sound. It is suitable for ferrous metals and should be overcoated with a suitable topcoat (e.g., enamel or acrylic paint) once dry.
Care: Store the can upside down after use and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Clean up spills with appropriate thinners.
