Rust-oleum 278807 Universal Acrylic Primer 5 Gallon White

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 278807 is a 5-gallon pail of Universal Acrylic Primer formulated for adhesion and hide across a wide range of surfaces. It delivers rust-inhibitive protection when applied directly to steel and acts as a stain blocker on porous substrates. The tintable white, flat-finish formula resists mold and mildew growth, making it a reliable base coat for both interior and exterior projects. Licensed painting contractors, commercial applicators, and trade professionals working in new construction or renovation settings are the primary users of this primer.

This primer is suited for residential and commercial applications on metal, wood, concrete, plaster, wallboard, hardboard, glass, and tile. Its direct-to-steel capability reduces the need for a separate rust-inhibiting coat on ferrous surfaces. The flat finish and tintable formula make it adaptable across finish systems where color flexibility is required at the primer stage. It performs in both interior and exterior environments, supporting full-system coating projects.
