Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 242252 is a flat metal primer formulated to bond directly to rusty metal surfaces without requiring complete rust removal. It is designed for use on ferrous metals in industrial and commercial maintenance applications where corrosion resistance and surface preparation are critical. The formula delivers long-lasting durability and resistance to chipping and corrosion. Packaged in a 1-gallon container, it is intended for brush, roller, or spray application by painting contractors, facility maintenance professionals, and industrial coatings tradespeople.
