What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this rust-preventive primer for chemically bonding with rust and stabilizing corroded surfaces into paint-ready bases. Many report success reviving heavily rusted items like 60-year-old lamp posts and lawnmower decks. Reviewers consistently highlight even spray application, quick drying, and reliable nozzle performance. The primer serves as a durable foundation that prevents rust bleeding through after prolonged outdoor exposure and rain. Proper surface prep with wire brushing is essential for optimal results. A few users report isolated spray failures or clogging, but most find it highly effective and dependable.

All the Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal primers are great

Would Recommend

I've used all the colors of the rusty metal primer and they always perform great. Use them if you need a primer, rusty metal or not. I've never had one clog and you get every bit of paint out of them.

Handy size, except I need it in gallon cans, I'm building a steel fence with well pipe, and it is DIRTY! Why do you not carry them?
