Can this be used on rusty tailgate?

Asked by: Gloria
You must first sand and scrape off the any loose or flaking rust. Primer will adhere to firm or solid rust, but not flaking material.

is this an self etching primer (sealer).Can I prime with this and let stand for a few months and not have rust pop through before I applying top coat?

If not a sealer what would I have to use
Asked by: tuffy
This primer is designed mostly for aluminum. If you are painting steel Rustoleum metal primer is a better choice and should protect for several months.

I attached stainless steel around the bottom of my outdoor shed to keep the critters out. I applied this primer to the ss first, then used the same latex paint on the ss I used on the shed. A perfect match!

If I don't use this primer base the finish coat scratches off very easy. It will still scratch but is much much more durable.

I really like this product but easily 4-6/10 cans wont spray for 30 seconds (NEW) before clogging and coming out in blobs and silly string. If I turn the can upside down to clear it, it will plug solid and not work at all. I also do not believe it has a decent shelf life as all of these I buy are from the auto box stores and they tell me they dont sell it much so has probably been on the shelf awhile. Sad as it works well.....the finite time it sprays.
