Paintmaster Metal Oxide Primer Paint 22.0 kg

Paintmaster Metal Oxide Primer is a long-oil alkyd coating infused with anti-corrosive metal oxide pigments that penetrate and seal bare steel, aluminium, cast iron, and hardwood timber, creating an active barrier against rust and corrosion. Its durable semi-shine finish maximizes adhesion for subsequent solvent-based enamels, machinery paints, and polyurethane topcoats, making it ideal for fabricators, skip builders, and DIY restorations.

Formulated with high solids and excellent flow, this primer can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed (HVLP or airless) directly from the tin. Thin up to 15% with white spirit only if necessary for spray atomization. Once cured, it remains slightly flexible to accommodate metal expansion and sands easily for super-smooth finishes.

Manufactured under stringent quality controls, it is available in Grey and Red oxide primer colours, supplied in 5 L, 10 L, and 20 L tins suitable for both small touch-ups and large projects.
