Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Can this primer be used on rusty metal?
A: Yes, but the metal should be wire-brushed or sanded to remove loose rust and scale. For best performance, apply to clean, dry, and sound metal surfaces.
Q: What topcoats are compatible with this primer?
A: It is designed to be overcoated with Johnstone’s Speciality Smooth Paint for Metal or other solvent-based metal paints.
Q: How long should I wait before applying a topcoat?
A: Allow at least 4–6 hours between coats. Ensure the primer is fully dry before overcoating.
Q: Is this suitable for galvanised metal?
A: This primer is formulated for ferrous metals. For galvanised or non-ferrous metals, use a primer designed specifically for those substrates.
Q: Is this paint heat-resistant?
A: While it offers excellent rust protection, it is not formulated for high-heat applications like radiators or stoves.
