Rust-oleum K7769-402 Rusty Metal Primer 1 Gallon

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM K7769-402 is a professional-grade rusty metal enamel primer formulated to bond directly to oxidized and marginally prepared metal surfaces. It is designed to stop rust and provide a sound base coat for topcoat adhesion without requiring complete rust removal before application. This primer meets VOC compliance standards, making it suitable for use in regulated regions. It is commonly applied by maintenance painters, industrial coating contractors, and trade professionals working on structural steel, equipment, and metal fixtures. Each unit is a 1-gallon container, sold in a package of 2.

This primer is used in commercial and industrial maintenance painting applications where metal surfaces exhibit surface rust or scale. It is appropriate for interior and exterior use on metal substrates that have been lightly prepared by wire brushing or scraping rather than abrasive blasting. For contractors operating in South Coast California counties with stricter VOC regulations, the equivalent low-VOC item is 776-262. This product replaces True Value item 347-856 for members in VOC-restricted areas.
