Product Details

Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer Spray bonds tightly to rust to form a surface that topcoats can easily adhere to. This formula drives out corrosive air and moisture other primers leave behind. Provides more than twice the rust protection of using enamels alone.
  • Rusty metal primer is designed for heavily rusted surfaces only
  • Features a comfort tip with a wider finger pad to reduce fatigue caused by continuous spraying; in addition, there is an any-angle spray feature that allows you to spray in any direction, even upside down
  • Dries in as little as 15 minutes for your convenience and covers an area of up to 20 sq. ft.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant
  • Can be used indoors or outdoors for versatility
  • Use of primers promotes topcoat adhesion
  • Easy clean-up with mineral spirits
  • Actual paint colors may vary from on-screen and printer representations
  • Return Policy
  • California residents

Q:This instruction makes no sense: "Apply paint within 1 hour or after 48 hours of priming." So, taking this literally, if I don't put a topcoat on "within 1 hour" I have to wait until 48 hours have passed before I put a top coat on? This makes no sense.

Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for reaching out, Mark! If Rust-Oleum Stops Rusty Metal Primer Spray is not topcoated within 1 hour of application, you will need to wait at least 48 hours before applying the paint. This is because the primer starts to form a skin on the surface, and hitting the surface with a new coat of solvents at the wrong time can open it up again and cause the paint to blister and crack. Essentially, you want to recoat when the surface is very wet or very dry. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      Q:Can Rustoleum paint be applied over Kilz 3

      Answer This Question

      A:  Happy to help, Pat! Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Rusty Metal Primer Spray is intended for use over metal that has rusted, and we do not recommend it for use over other primers. However, our other paints typically can be used over other primers, provided they can accept oil or solvent-based paints. Make sure the primer is applied as directed and allowed to dry for the recommended time before topcoating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to help, Phil. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Rusty Metal Spray Primer cannot be applied to galvanized metal, this is an oil based primer and is not compatible with the zinc in galvanized metal. The correct primer to use is Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Universal Bonding Spray Primer, this is formulated for application to galvanized metal, as well as other metal surfaces. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Universal-Bonding-Primer-Spray-6-Pack-285011/205926957 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

          Old reliable
          Used it for years, love the stuff. Not always able to completely clean rust off of my projects and this helps me get past that. I also love the color and have used it to help camouflage things against red rock

          Great Stuff
          I am restoring an old cast-iron woodworking machine. I labored over the old rusted surface with wire brush and used strippers on the bits of old paint residue and then used this primer. It produced the best primed surface ever! I am very pleased.

          Great rusty metal project coverage, hands down!
          The rusty metal primer spray by Rust-oleum is by far the easiest and best primer paint I have used in a long time. Coverage was great, drying time quick and ease of use was superior to other spray paint I have used. No runs drips or errors!
