BEST PRIMERS FOR
ANY SURFACE

Primers are the anchors for the new paint system. They provide excellent adhesion
for the new paint system before it’s applied. Primers therefore need to have good
adhesion to provide a surface that subsequent coats of paints can easily adhere to.

Note
Do not apply excessively thick coats as this may retard drying.

New Surfaces:

Mechanically, ex. abrasive blasting, shot blasting, sanding, etc., remove oxidation and loose rust. Use either Top Paints’ General Purpose Cleaner or Top Paints’ Degreaser and an abrasive pad to clean the surface thoroughly. Rinse with clean water until water break-free film is achieved and allow to dry. Ensure that all rust is removed as this will affect the adhesion properties of INDUSTRIAL RED OXIDE PRIMER. Apply 1 or 2 coats of INDUSTRIAL RED OXIDE PRIMER. Previously painted surfaces:
Remove any loose and flaking paint as well as rust, by sanding, scraping or abrasive blasting. Prime with 1 or 2 coats of INDUSTRIAL RED OXIDE.
