General purpose metal primer – exterior/interior - solventborne

Resene ArmourX GP Metal Primer, is a general purpose (GP) primer based on a non-saponifiable resin and a blend of anti-corrosive pigments designed for exterior and interior metals - steel, galvanised steel and Zincalume. It is ideal over sound metal surfaces and mild to moderately rusted surfaces - both red rust and zinc oxide – or white rust, which occurs on galvanised steel and zinc.

It's thick, which means you can get a lot of primer protection in just one coat, yet still easy to apply and use.

As with any metal finishing product, before you start priming, all salt and loose corrosion must be removed.

Typical uses: Aluminium, galvanising, repaints, steel, zincalume.

This product was formerly know as Resene GP Metal Primer. It's name has been changed to Resene ArmourX GP Metal Primer.

Performance

• May be applied over a wide range of temperatures (10-30°C). Dry and recoat times will be extended at lower temperatures and vary with wet film build.
• Excellent adhesion to prepared metal surfaces.
• May be overcoated with most Resene acrylic topcoats paint systems, such as Resene Summit Roof and Resene solvent borne enamels such as Super Gloss, any time over a period of three months.
• May be used on roofs that are to be used for the collection of drinking water when top coated. Disconnect downpipes to water tanks for the first few showers of rain and then reconnect

Areas showing significant red rusting will require an additional coat of Resene GP Metal Primer or a change to Resene Rust-Arrest.
