Shop RUSTINS Red Oxide Metal Primer 500ml. Review: Like it happy with product - really good product. Needs to be mixed properly before use as per instructions. Used with K-rust treatment and goes on really well to create stable base for top coat paint on car. Will use this again in the future as like it way it applies to metal and finish. Can be re-coated in a couple of hours according to tin. Will use this again in future and feels like it will give coverage per M2. Review: Great value RUSTINS Red Oxide Metal Primer - I recently bought the RUSTINS Red Oxide Metal Primer 1L from desertcart, and I’m very pleased with the results. The primer goes on smoothly with a brush or roller, giving a strong and even coverage. It dries fairly quickly to a nice flat finish, which makes it ideal for overcoating with other paints. I used it on some metal surfaces that were starting to show signs of rust, and it adhered really well, leaving a solid protective base. It’s not too thick or runny, making application easy even on tricky areas. The coverage is excellent, so a little goes a long way. Overall, this is a reliable and high-quality primer that does exactly what it promises. Great value for money, and I’d definitely buy it again for future projects. ## Features - Contains sensitizing substances.
