Questions & Answers

I have some outdoor cast aluminum chairs and table. The Rust-O-leum paint has chipped off due to wear or popped off due to oxidation of the aluminum underneath over time. Is this the product I should use before repainting with High Performance Enamel

Answer This Question

Happy to help, Mark! Yes, Rust-Oleum Professional Primer Spray would be a great primer choice for this project. Just make sure to remove any loose paint from the surface and thoroughly clean the surface before priming and repainting. We also recommend scuff sanding any smooth, hard, or glossy surfaces to promote full adhesion. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

    Can this primer be used on acrylic sheet? Is a primer even needed or can I just use Rustoleum color coat?

    Answer This Question

    Matt, thank you for your interest! Rust-Oleum Professional Primer Spray is suitable for use on metal, wood, concrete, and masonry. If applied to an acrylic sheet, it would not adhere properly. Give us a call at 888-855-1774, as we'd like to gather addtional details to see if another one of primers would be suituble for your project. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

        Does this product require a topcoat of paint?
        ByAug 14, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Great question, Michael. While Rust-Oleum Professional Primer Spray provides great adhesion it requires a topcoat. We recommend our Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Protective Enamel Spray Paint for the best compatibility. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Professional-15-oz-High-Performance-Enamel-Gloss-Black-Spray-Paint-7579838/100125558 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

          Will this stick to epoxy based fiberglass?
          ByJul 2, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Thank you for reaching out, George. While Rust-Oleum Professional Primer Spray can be applied to fiberglass surfaces, strong 2-part epoxies can hinder the adhesion of 1-part coatings. We recommend first applying a small test application before applying to the entire surface. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

            Ok to use on Hvac vent for rust prevention after rust manually removed? Water condensation there when AC running.

            Answer This Question

            Thank you for reaching out. While Rust-Oleum Professional Primer Spray provides our most durable finish for metal surfaces, it cannot be applied to a HVAC unit. The potential exposure to moisture will cause the paint to blister and peel over time. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                  Great product!
                  I bought this item for some furniture restoration. I started on a larger dresser, it had the normal coverage as any other spray can. It does dry pretty fast depending on the temperature and humidity, usually within an hour. After it’s dry and adhered to the material it does protect against corrosion and other scuffs and abrasions until time to paint. The only beef I have with it is that the first 15 seconds of spray time it does come out clumpy, but after that it is very smooth and easy to control. Overall it’s my go to primer for its price and how much surface area it will cover!

                    Needed to spray paint a stainless steel raised planter box and rust-oleum is a trustworthy brand. Simple to apply / wearing a mask of course/ dried quickly and the results were excellent. Should definitely help with preventing any possible rust/moisture issue.

                    This is excellent paint for advertised use. As long as it's used as directed. You can prime and topcoat in one setting, if its done within recoat window. If not, you have to wait 48 hours between coats, but I love it.

                    If you have rusty metal that you want to save than this is the primer you want. It stops rust in its tracks. Just top coat with a good enamel spray paint and it will last for years. I have even sprayed rusty metal with this primer and left it like that, and years later it still looks fin. This is the best metal primer you can buy.
