Primer paint is an undercoating that prepares surfaces for the main coat. Primer seals the surface while keeping your base smooth and extending the final coat’s lifespan. It also helps protect it from moisture and rust.
There are several different types of primer available, and it’s best to know which primer works best for your specific application. Our industrial primers are designed to be applied to metal specifically, and others may offer a combination of quick drying and adhesion benefits.
Primers we carry include:
Industrial epoxy primers
Industrial metal primers
Zinc-rich primers
Choose the Best Industrial Primer to Apply
To choose the correct primer:
First, identify your substrate,
Then consider the exposure conditions: harsh or humid outdoor environments require more durable primers like epoxy or zinc-rich,
Match the primer type’s compatibility to your desired finish.
If you skip the primer, the new paint can wrinkle as it dries. Even the best paint will peel much sooner than if you primed it first.
Industrial epoxy primer is the best primer for protecting bare metal from rust and corrosion.
Can industrial metal primer be applied over rust?
No, industrial metal primer should not be applied directly over rust. Applying primer directly over rust can lead to poor adhesion. Always try to remove as much rust as possible before priming for longer-lasting adhesion and protection.
How many coats of industrial paint primer are needed?
One or two coats of industrial paint primer will be enough for most painting projects. The exact number depends on the surface being painted, the desired colour change, and the type of primer used.
Is base coat primer suitable for coastal environments?
No, a standard base coat primer is not suitable for coastal environments. Base coat primers lack the corrosion and moisture resistance for harsh coastal conditions.
