FEATURES

- Primes & improves adhesion on the top coat

- Limited/ conditionally suitable for copper & zinc

- Weatherproof

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Shake can vigorously for 2-3 minutes before use. Apply ALUMINIUM PRIMER in several thin layers, spraying in sweeping motions. Allow each coating to dry for at least 5 minutes. Can be overpainted after 3 hours. Further coats of alternative products might require a drying time of 24 hours or more depending on application style. Always test spray on a non-visible area to check the compatibility of lacquer or paint. For optimal lifespan, store cans with the nozzle on.
