To paint this, do I need a Primer? I tried Rustoleum Spray Paint and it bubbles up on my sanded items of this material,but the paint works epoxy resin

I prime everything w/ acrylic undercoat. I can't imagine ur casting such large items that u can't do it by hand.

This is a primer not paint, top side/above the water line marine paint is also available from rustoleum/amazon. Primer label does not specify ingredients and does not mention zinc chromate but does provide directions for use on aluminum. It is for above the water line use but appears so far to have a high tolerance for water. I used two coats of this primer on chrome that I discolored mis-using rust out and then coated it with two coats of grey rustoleum topside/marine paint. I tried several other products including epoxy to no avail but so far this is working. Hope this helps. used Rust-Oleum 207005 Marine Topside Paint, Battleship Gray, This is a primer not paint, top side/above the water line marine paint is also available from rustoleum/amazon.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

I read reviews that encouraged buyers to paint it with rustoleum befor first use. I did this just to be sure it didnt rust as the product was exactly what I wanted. So I have had no problems with it and have had it since February.

I would prime it first if you using a light color paint. Darker colors the pine will do fine. Love love love this paint. Highly recommend it.

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.

Try a spot were it cannot be seen like door jam but it takes off about of paint so if primer is gray you may not know are going down to the primer unitil

Hello, Unfortunately we don't paint the items, if an item is paint to match item is primed but customer needs to paint the item on their end.Thank you

I believe that I remember if you had rust, you needed to treat that first. I would contact the manufacturer for more info, I did not have that problem, but I can tell you it is a GREAT product for painting over bathroom tiles!

I use a rustolium paint that is high heat to 2000 degrees. I did two coats and has held up for 4 months so far. You can buy the paint at walmart for 7 or 8 dollars. Hope this helps

Use rare earth magnets. DO NOT use the rustoleum brand use the magna magic, check the ratings. I have used both and the Rustoleum kind STINKS!!! Not joking the Rustoleum brand stinks to high heaven and it does not work. After you get your paint sand sand sand your area that you are going to paint. Then sand it again, smooth as a babies ass. Then get a roller and your paint stirrer ready. Litterally stir you paint every 3 mins maybe more. Stir it with half a coat hanger on cordless drill but be carefull!! Poor a small amount (as much as you use in 2 mins) in a paint tray and roll it out on to the wall. Stirr your paint, pour out a little, roll it out on your wall and repeat. It's mandatory to stir the paint because the metal particles fall to the bottom fast. So you have to get them susspended in to the paint.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

I painted mine black to match an outdoor gate using spray Vinyl Dye. It eats into the plastic a bit to actually dye the material (not just laying a layer of paint on top) and it worked with just a few coats. Cheap, easy, and the result blends in well with the installation.

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.

Suggest you contact Rust-Oleum for technical questions. However, I would personally use the product if the fiber glass top has already been primed and painted with automotive paint.

Yes. I would definetely recomend Rustoleum self etching primer. Worked great for me!

It's not something I would use alone it would have to be cleaned up some and maybe even filled with a heavy primer. the key behind this produce is it stops the rust through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction may cause damage to areas with paint, Its a great product but follow the directions closely.
