Weld-Through Primers for Metal


Protect steel and iron parts from corrosion without having to remove the primer before welding them together. Often used on structural steel in demanding environments, these primers can be welded through without affecting the weld’s integrity.
Apply primers in a can with a brush or sprayer. They cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Use primer in an aerosol can for quick jobs and touch-ups.
Apply primer in a one-gallon can with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Use red primer on rusty and abrasive-blasted steel. Follow with a coat of gray primer. Use gray primer on galvanized steel and on all other surfaces.
Primers that cannot be sold to the regions listed exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
