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 noted the primer did not fully prevent rust reappearance on heavily rusted areas. The product's effectiveness may depend on the specific application and condition of the metal.

If you're going to paint it, prime it first!

Would Recommend

I've used this product for over 40 years on numerous different projects, both commercial and private. I still possess numerous items that I primed with this product and then painted. Some of these things have been exposed to outside weather and the elements (some for years), some have not. Regardless, all of them still have the same appearance as they did when they were first primed and painted. I have even used this product on corrugated cardboard and wood before painting. Same results as I've...
