What Customers Are Saying

The Rust-Inhibitive Primer Spray provided good coverage and effectively stopped rust on metal surfaces for many users. It worked well as a primer before painting and dried quickly. However, some customers experienced issues with the spray nozzle, and a few found the primer did not fully prevent rust from reappearing on heavily rusted metal. The product's effectiveness may depend on the specific application and surface condition.

Used it on an old wagon

Would Recommend

I scraped off the old paint as well as I could with a wire brush. Then sprayed on the Rusty Metal Primer. Followed that with another Rust-oleum spray paint. It worked well. It will give us another year or two wear out of that old wagon. I was very happy with the results.

The spray tip cloggs too easily

Would Recommend

After several uses with a substantial amount of time between uses, the spray tip clogs with dried paint and I haven't found a way to un-clog or prevent clogging. Maybe a redesign of the spray nozzle is required.

Good Primer Product

Would Recommend

Bought some of this to paint metal fence posts that had a good amount of surface rust. Wiped the posts down with a heavy rag and paint thinner a couple of times to get as much rust as i could off (no I didn't want to sand it--too much work), let it dry and put on a good coat of this primer. Over a year later, no signs of rust coming through the primer and the post still look good and I like the texture it leaves behind. So I bought a few more cans to paint some metal cattle panels.

was excited, now mad

Would Not Recommend

I bought this product to prime outdoor furniture, but after about 1 minute, the sprayer stopped working. I took off the top to soak it like the instructions say to, and it did not work. I am very mad because I bought 2 of these, and it happened to both of them!!! I was spraying the pieces in 84 degree weather with 74% humidity. Very frustrated that this product, which is probably a good product, does NOT work!!!!
