    Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Paint Primers. Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal.
    A high concentration of zinc gives these paint 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. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
    Epoxy—Epoxy paint primers have excellent abrasion resistance. The container size listed is the combined total of the three parts.
