The Montana Metal Primer - a quick drying primer for the perfect pre-treatment of metal surfaces that need to be protected from rust. The primer can be used on metals like iron, steel or mineral surfaces. Montana Metal Primer can be used on Montana sprays with a synthetic, acrylic, or nitro-combination base. Always test before use. Drying time varies depending on temperature and humidity and might take a few hours.

Please note the Metal Primer is NOT suitable for priming aluminum and stainless steel as well as Zinc. For aluminium, cooper and zinc use Aluminium Primer instead.

- Improves the adhesion of the top coat on metallic surfaces

- High filling power

- Improves the gloss level of the topcoat

- Protects against oxidation

Shake can vigorously for 2-3 minutes before use. Apply METALL 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.
​

When should I use a primer?

The goal of priming is to create a neutral surface of which to apply other coatings onto that will have the longest possible lifespan and the most aesthetic finish as desired.Montana Primers are for the pre-treatment and preperation of surfaces and will offer the greatest adhesion and protection to apply further coatings onto.

How will using Montana METAL PRIMER assist me?

Using Montana METAL PRIMER will create the best possible surface for adhession of further coatings and offers anti-oxidisation properties to help to resist and prevent the onset of rust. Using the METAL PRIMER will also make further applied coatings more scratch and dent resistant.

When do I use Montana METAL PRIMER?

Montana METAL PRIMER is specifically created for the pre-treatment of metal (iron or brass) or mineral surfaces before applying further coatings. It is very important that the surfaces are clean, dry and free of all dust and oils before application. We suggest trialing on a non-visible area of your material to test for compatibility. Please note the Metal Primer unsuitable for priming aluminum. Please use our ALUMINIUM Primer instead.
