Does this product require a primer? The fourth picture on Amazon suggests it does but the instructions do not mention a primer. Stainless + aluminum

I did not use any primer I just add the red loctite and that was it due allow for it to cure properly make sure the material is free of oils or grease

Over the winter, we sanded the aluminum rims to the window screens on our trawler because the original paint had peeled off in several places where the stainless steel screws met the aluminum. We then cleaned it with mineral spirits and a tack cloth. We put on one layer of this primer, then followed up the primer with the "above the water" marine paint. Application was best with small sponge brushes in these narrow areas. One coat of primer and 2-3 coats of paint. The result so far are good.

No. You want it to bond to the metal not the primer. Sand down the area and make sure both surfaces are clean.

I cannot give you an answer because I used it with a primer and only used this paint on some hardware for drawers from ikea. If you can prime the aluminum, I would assume it will be fine. Btw...the hardware I painted had a bit of a matte finish to it already too. The gold color itself is really nice. Sorry...

I called the customer service line to ask this specific question because in the past i have had terrible reactions to aluminum, mainly that I can't think straight after using aluminum cooking products. The woman at the end of the line said that it is Breville's company policy not to disclose the materials used to make their products. Seems fishy and misleading. I will be returning this product, I just cannot take the risk. BTW- I tried to see if I could take a peak inside but it was too complicated.

Appears to be stainless with a clad aluminum bottom for improved heat dispersion. Stains are just residue from what you cooked. It just shows up so well because of the high clarity of stainless but stainless is a virtue in this regard because you can see better what was left behind, and easily clean with steel wool or abrasive cleanser or metal polish if it really bothers you.

Hey Doc - BKF will effectively remove that iridescent patina that is sometimes left by gas heat or evaporated water. I just add a tiny bit of water and BKF, and scrub the pot/pan down with a nylon brush. It comes out almost immediately. Make sure you scrub it down with some soapy water to get rid of the BKF, as you don't want your future meal to have BKF residue! After this, wipe it all down with a cheesecloth or paper towel. Your stainless cookware will look brand spanking new. By the way - don't let cooking residue sit in the cookware for too long after cooking to prevent it from sticking. If you're diligent about cleaning right away - it'll make your life super easy. If you get a bit of food stuck to the pan - I leave the pan soaking with warm water, dish soap, and a bit of BKF. Come back in 30-45 mins - and it's all gone with a light scrub. For particularly resilient stuck-on residues, repeat this multiple times - it will eventually work. Stainless is just worlds better than nonstick. But you have to learn to work with it. Learn it well - and the cookware will reward you with amazing food. Hope this helps!

No primer required on solid wood. If wood is softer you probably need to apply a hardner prior to filling.

Just soap and water and steel wool if needed. Aluminum pots get naturally darken over time. Mine is very dark on the bottom now. Its not caked on like with a cast iron pot. It's just the metal itself gets darker, which is expected with aluminum. This is how every aluminum pot I've ever cooked with in a restaurant has looked. Its normal

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.

I used it on both my bathroom fixtures and my metal outdoor house numbers. I don't think you need a primer. The trigger for the can is a bit tricky but the paint is good. Hope that helps.

It did not say on package that it was stainless, I think it is aluminum, not positive though. We have used quiet often. Wife says it is very nice compared to the other non stick surface.

I think stainless steel tends to stick more during cooking than aluminum, but I always pre-sear in a nonstick pan if it is necessary to brown meat first.

this is very unusual! normally this stuff turns black in a very short time over all surfaces,painted or rusty. i've been using this stuff for years and i highly recommend putting down some rustoleum metal primer over all treated surfaces,no matter what the label says about not needing any primer. did you shake the container enough,i wonder?

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

VHT sprays better than any "rattlecan" paint I have ever used. Paint stainless steel? Why? But if you have to, this is as good a high temp paint as there is. You need to prime with high temp primer too after cleaning and scuffing with 400 grit paper.

I don't think it's stainless since it stains in a harmless way. I like the product for lots of uses. Just be creative using a great heat source.
