Product Description

An economical primer/surfacer specifically designed for workshop/industrial use on steelwork, commercial vehicle bodies, machinery, metal casement windows etc. This shop primer produces a gloss finish, sometimes preferred when a period of weeks/months is likely to elapse before overcoating. If overcoating is to take place more or less immediately, the use of a matt primer i.e. Crown Red Oxide/Zinc Chromate Primer is recommended. For maximum protection of exposed steelwork, particularly in coastal regions, the use of Crown Zinc Phosphate Primer is recommended.
