Anti Rust Primer for metal

An anti rust primer is a special primer for metal to protect it from rust, corrosion and oxidation. This primer with anti rust action acts as an insulating layer between the metal and the outside air, moisture or chemical influences. By using an anti-corrosion primer, you prevent rust from forming or spreading further. Thanks to its very high quality, an anti rust primer adheres strongly to different types of metal. This makes this primer with anti rust properties ideal as a primer for iron, steel and aluminum where it is the perfect base for a further finish with lacquer or paint.

Why is an anti rust primer important?

Without a good primer, metal surfaces can quickly rust or oxidize. Especially when metal is exposed to moisture, rain, salt and different temperatures. These influences create corrosion where it affects the structure and appearance of metal. By using an anti rust primer you can prevent this. This special primer forms a protective layer that keeps the metal rust-free.

When do you use anti rust primer?

You use an anti rust primer in any situation where metal is at risk of rusting. Because of this, you can use it for both prevention and repair. The most common situations for using an anti rust primer are:

  • Untreated metal that does not yet have a coating
  • Existing surfaces with incipient rusting
  • Outdoor projects such as fences, bridges, garden furniture and machinery
  • Vehicles, trailers or body parts that need additional protection
  • Maritime applications, such as boats or parts in contact with salt water

Anti Rust primer in different types

Anti rust primer comes in different types. For each application there is a primer with anti rust effect for all types of metal. As a specialist, at CROP you can choose from a large assortment of different types of anti rust primers in spray can and can. The most common types are:

  • 1K anti rust primer: this quick drying primer is ready to use and does not require mixing with hardener. This makes the 1K anti rust primer ideal for small and quick jobs where convenience is paramount.
  • 2K anti rust primer: this primer consists of two components, the primer and hardener. After mixing it creates a very strong, chemically resistant anti rust protective layer. This makes the 2K anti rust primer ideal for car damage repair, industrial applications and jobs where durability and the best quality is required.

Aerosol anti rust primer

Don't have spray equipment or prefer to work efficiently to make quick repairs? Then a spray can of anti rust primer is ideal to use. With this, you don't have to prepare the primer and put it in a spray gun to process it. With an aerosol anti rust primer you spray the primer quickly and easily. This is available in both 1K and 2K quality!

Anti Rust primer in a can

Do you need to primer larger surfaces or do you simply like working with a paint sprayer? Then choose a canned anti rust primer. A can of anti rust primer is often used as a primer to spray a car. Hereby, all metal parts are well protected against rusting. In addition, cans of anti rust primer are ideal for industrial applications where a lot of work is done with metals to treat them.

What advantages does an anti rust primer have?

Using a good anti rust primer has advantages over other primers. The advantages of an anti rust primer are:

  • Prevents rusting on both new and existing metal
  • Improves adhesion of lacquer or coating
  • Extends the life of the metal surface
  • Easy to apply by brush, roller or spray can
  • Available in various colors such as gray, black and red-brown
  • Choice of different qualities: 1K, 2K primers

How to apply anti rust primer?

Correct application of an anti rust primer is essential for proper function and protection. To help you on your way, here are 5 steps to apply the anti rust primer correctly.

  1. Clean the surface: Remove dirt, grease, oil and loose rust with a degreaser and brush.
  2. Sand or blast if necessary: This increases adhesion, especially with stubborn rust or old coats of paint.
  3. Apply primer: Use a brush, roller or spray depending on the product type.
  4. Allow the primer to cure: Respect the specified drying time before finishing.
  5. Finish with lacquer or coating: After complete drying, you can refinish the surface for a durable finish.

Note: For 2K primers, first mix the primer and hardener according to the specified mixing ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is primer spray paint?

rimer spray paint is a primer that you spray as an adhesive primer on a substrate or surface. A spray paint primer is overpaintable with 1K and 2K paint based on thinner or water.

What do you use primer spray paint for?

A primer spray can is used when you want to quickly spray primer on a part or surface. Use a primer spray can for materials that still need priming to make paint adhere.

How long should primer dry?

How long primer needs to dry depends on temperature, humidity and layer thickness. A primer does not need to dry long if you process it at room temperature.

Do you need to sand primer

Once the primer is dry, you need to sand it. Sanding the primer smooths the surface and lightly roughens the primer layer. This helps the color car paint or 2K paint adhere better to the primer. If you don’t sand the primer, the paint will not adhere as well to the base coat.

Is primer necessary to use?

Basically, primer is necessary to ensure the paint adheres to the surface according to the RAL number. However, if you're spraying this paint over existing paint that is already in good condition, it is not necessary to use a primer. If you're unsure whether a bonding primer is needed, we always recommend using it! Sand off any loose paint first and apply a primer for the best adhesion and durability of the spray paint.

Which color primer should I use?

For some car paint colors, it's important to use the right color primer. In this case, grey primer is the most commonly chosen color for the base coat. 

Do you need primer over rust converter?

No, no primer is needed over a rust converter. As the name suggests, it encapsulates and transforms the rust into a primer-like layer, preventing further rusting of the surface. You can directly apply car paint, 2K paint, or a coating over a rust converter. 

Do you use filler or primer first?

Primer ensures the adhesion of the color paint you want to spray. For this reason, you apply filler first and then primer, so that the color paint adheres properly to the primer.
