Rust-Oleum Surface Primer is a great choice for substrates which require a primer to protect the topcoat from stains, blemishes and other irregularities for a more uniform finish. Can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces, including wood, metal, plaster, masonry and unglazed ceramic. Offers adhesion to tricky substrates and fills minor surface imperfections for a flawless finish.
- Must be used in conjunction with a suitable paint topcoat such as Rust-Oleum Painters Touch Multi-Purpose Paint
For the best results with Rustoleum Primer, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.
- Sand any existing coatings for adhesion
- Seal new or bare plaster with a suitable sealer
- Abrade new wood with P80-P120 sandpaper for a better key and to remove any mill glaze
- Clean and remove any stain, making sure the cause of the stain is dealt with prior to coating
- Fill any holes, cracks or surface imperfections with a suitable filler
- Spot prime any knots in wood using a suitable knot blocking solution
- Clean all areas of rust with a wire brush
Always do a test area of Rust-Oleum Surface Primer before starting any project to assess product suitability. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
