Rust-Oleum 769 Damp-Proof Rust Primer 5 Litre - Tinted Colours

Rust-Oleum 769 Damp-Proof Rust Primer in a 5 litre tin, tinted to the colour you ask for.

What it is

A single-pack rust primer based on a fish-oil alkyd, a formula Rust-Oleum has used since 1921. It penetrates deep into rust, expels moisture and air from the surface, and can be applied to slightly damp or dry metal with minimal surface preparation.

Where to use it

Developed for sound rusted steel prepared with hand tools. With 1060 or 1080 primer and an Alkythane 7500 topcoat, Rust-Oleum states it provides protection under C4 exposure conditions (ISO 12944).
