Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can this primer be used on galvanised steel?
A: Yes—key the surface by light abrasion and ensure it is thoroughly cleaned before priming.

Q2. Will the red‑oxide show through my topcoat?
A: The primer layer is matt and pigmented; a full‑opacity topcoat (two coats) will completely hide the red‑oxide if desired.

Q3. Is this primer suitable for indoor use?
A: Yes—its low‑VOC, water‑borne formula makes it suitable for interior metalwork.

Q4. Can I apply over slightly rusted metal?
A: Light surface rust may remain after wire brushing; ensure all loose material is removed before priming.

Q5. How long before I can handle primed parts?
A: Light handling is possible after 6–8 hours, but avoid full mechanical stress until fully cured at 24 hours.
