Lowe Rust Primer Red is a versatile product that can be used on both old and new metal surfaces. It effectively neutralises rust and prevents further corrosion. The primer binds to the surface and reacts chemically with any rust it comes into contact with. A second coat acts as a barrier, providing additional protection against future rusting. Minimal surface preparation is necessary, and it can be applied to damp or even wet surfaces. Lowe Rust Primer Red is an excellent base for most standard paints if over-coating is required.
