Rust-Converting Primers for Metal
These primers convert rust into a layer of protection that prevents new rust from forming. Use them to prepare your surface to extend the life of paint and coatings.
Apply coatings in a can with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Primers for Metal
Add long-term corrosion protection to uncoated or rusty metal surfaces. These primers prepare your surface to extend the life of paint and coatings. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
Acrylic primers are available in two colors. Choose gray primer for light-colored topcoats; red for dark topcoats.
Polyurethane primers can be applied in environments with high humidity or extreme temperatures. Surface must be visibly dry and free of frost and ice.

Galvanizing Zinc Primers for Metal
A high concentration of zinc gives these primers excellent corrosion resistance for protecting steel—when exposed to moisture and chemicals, the zinc rusts before the underlying steel can. They’re often used with structural steel to prepare the surface for paint while forming a protective layer.
Epoxy primers have excellent abrasion resistance. Apply with a brush or roller. The container size listed is the combined total of the three parts.

Primers
Prepare metal, wood, and concrete for paint. Primers adhere to underlying surfaces to create a base layer that bonds well with paint for a long-lasting finish.
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 for Instant-Bond Adhesives
Improve instant-bond adhesive performance on hard-to-bond slippery plastics. These primers cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Primers in brush-top bottles also include a spray head for easy dispensing.

Thin Film and Label Application Primers
Spray these primers onto a mounting surface to quickly and smoothly apply signs, labels, and protective films. These primers float adhesive-backed sheets above a surface until you press them down, giving you time to position the sheet and remove any wrinkles. Since the sheet doesn’t stick right away, you can apply large sheets without needing a second pair of hands. These primers also work with non-adhesive films. Even in hot or cold temperatures, your sheet will stay put.
Clean the mounting surface with primer before applying a film, so no residue is trapped underneath. Use a smoothing tool (sold separately) to squeeze out air bubbles and excess fluid. Drying time depends on application—most decals and films will dry within 90 seconds, but 3D printer sheets should dry for 24 hours before printing.
