## Description

Product Description Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Flat Aluminum Primer provides a sound base for application of oil-based enamels, latex paints and aerosols on aluminum and galvanized surfaces. Unique primer provides excellent adhesion and incredible durability. From the Manufacturer Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Latex Aluminum Primer is a specially formulated base coat for aluminum or galvanized metal.

Review: Good coverage and adhesion - I used this as my primer to repaint a rusty fridge. First I sanded rust off, wiped down then put two coats of this on waiting an hour between coats. The next day I used my fingernails and the primer didn’t scratch. Lightly sanded and it was ready for the color coat. Worked great. This is a good quality primer and I knew I would need that for this to work. Very happy.
Review: This is a safe alternative to using some other aluminum primers made with Zinc Chromate. - Works well, but only time will tell how long it will prevent oxidation from causing it to fail. I used this to prime the aluminum frame on my screen porch. Some of the posts are 5 inch square aluminum posts, and after time, the aluminum oxidized and cause the paint to buckle and peel off. The section I used this on as a test was the post next to a door. I used a sanding disk on my orbital sander, and removed all oxidation from the metal. It has to be shiny, and without any discoloration. Then wipe the metal clean with denatured alcohol, let it dry by wiping it dry with a paper towel, then wait a short time and prime the metal. I used a foam brush to get a really smooth finish. Wait for it to dry so you can lightly sand it before the final coat of paint. It has been over a month of rain and the metal still looks like new, only time will tell how long the repair will last. I have a lot more aluminum on the porch to fix. The most important detail in my work is about getting the metal clean and free of all oxidation. If you leave any amout, no matter how small, it will grow and cause the paint to buckle and peel.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on any metal surface? I am not sure my pool fence is galvanized metal or not.**
A: I`m sure you can use it on your fence. I used on my aluminum boat and it hold the paint well. I didn`t prepare the surface. One comment I have that this primer drying time was long, 2-3 weeks for heavy use. May be because it was to much humidy last July. To put just paint over you don`t need wait too much, 2-3 days will be enough.

**Q: Is this primer for topside only, or can it be also used below the waterline on my aluminum boat?**
A: I used this primer above and below the waterline and just used different top coats

**Q: How will it do on diamond plate**
A: It will work just fine. I used it to prime the underside of some aluminum diamond plate on a folding hitch carrier I made. It's been on the car since Spring and has held up perfectly. Just make sure to scuff and clean the aluminum very well beforehand.

**Q: I need to paint aluminum railing and I want to prime it in order to get the very best outcome! Can someone tell me if this is good or what is!?**
A: worked very well on my boat.
