White Knight Rust Guard^® Metal Primer

How To Apply

1. PREPARATION

• Remove all rust and flaking paint back to bare metal with a wire brush, scraper or mechanical sander.
• The surface must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, oil, rust scale and other contaminants.
• Sand new metal, previously painted or glossy surfaces thoroughly.
• Convert rusted surfaces with White Knight Rust Guard® Rust Converter.

2. APPLICATION

• Stir thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer in a circular lifting motion for at least 5 minutes before use and continue to stir at regular intervals during application.
• No thinning is required for application by brush or roller. If spraying, you may thin up to 10% with White Knight Rust Guard® Solvent or mineral turps.
• Apply 1 coat by brush, roller or spray gun. Apply a second coat after 16 hours if overcoating with a water based topcoat.

Do not use when air or surface temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C.

3. OVER COATING

Overcoat when dry (15 hours) with an enamel topcoat (White Knight Rust Guard® Epoxy Enamel or Hammered Finish) or water based topcoat (White Knight Rust Guard® Advance Enamel) within 1 week of applying primer.

4. COVERAGE

Approximately 14m² per litre, depending on the nature of the surface.

Touch dry in 4 hours. Drying will be slower in cold or humid conditions, in the absence of ventilation or where heavy film builds are applied.
