Zero Rust® Primer – 12 oz Aerosol Can

Zero Rust® Primer – High-Performance Rust Inhibitor for Metal & Steel Surfaces (12 oz Aerosol Cans – Available in 2, 4, or 6 Packs)

Zero Rust® Primer is a high-solids, phenolic-modified alkyd coating engineered to prevent rust and corrosion by forming a durable, oxygen-blocking barrier at the steel level. This direct-to-metal (DTM) primer bonds tightly to new, weathered, or marginally prepared metal, cutting off oxygen to stop the rusting process at its source.

Now available in convenient 12 oz aerosol cans, Zero Rust® Primer is ideal for smaller projects, touch-ups, or hard-to-reach areas. Choose from packs of 2, 4, or 6 to suit your job size and budget.

Safe and easy to use, this single-component, air-dry coating requires no mixing and contains no lead or isocyanates, making it a smart and environmentally conscious choice. Lab-tested and proven, Zero Rust® Primer exceeds 2,000 hours in ASTM B117 salt spray testing, delivering long-term corrosion resistance you can trust.
