Overview

A water-based metal primer that can be used on ferrous and non-ferrous metals on both interior and exterior substrates. Ideal for all types of metal implements, tools, and structures in and around gardens, farms, houses and factories prior to overpainting with Bedec or similar water-based paints. The quick drying formulation is resistant to rust and reduces flash rusting.

• Fast drying - only 2-4 hours
• Satin finish
• Water-based and low VOC
• Ideal for use under suitable water-based top coats

Preparation

For the best results always thoroughly prepare the surface. Ensure the surfaces to be painted are clean dry and free from dust, dirt, grease and wax.

• Remove all loose and defective paint to leave a smooth and sound surface. Glossy surfaces should be lightly abraded to provide a key.
• Non-ferrous surfaces - Lightly abrade the surface. Allow new galvanised steel to be weathered for two months before painting with the All Metals Primer.
• Ferrous surfaces - On mild steel remove as much rust as possible and apply the primer within two hours of cleaning.

Application

We always recommend testing a small inconspicuous area to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Stir well and apply using a brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray.
• On ferrous surfaces some flash rusting may occur, especially if below the dew point. This is expected and will not affect the anti-corrosive properties of the product.
• In most cases only one coat will be required.

Aftercare & Storage

Ensure to clean the rim of the paint tin and firmly replace the lid before storing in a cool, dry area that will protect the paint from low temperatures. Do not store in a shed or by hanging on a hook.
