Rusty Surface is No Longer a Challenge

Metal structures, car bodies, or other metal surfaces lose their original appearance over time, and, more importantly, the risk of corrosion increases.

There is a widespread belief in society that painting a rusty surface is a difficult process and requires lengthy preliminary preparation. However, CHROMODOMI's Fast & Right destroys this myth. This anti-corrosion primer paint is applied directly to rust, eliminating the need for preliminary surface treatment, primer application, and other additional work. The product dries quickly and provides long-lasting protection.

In addition, it is possible to pre-treat the surface and completely remove rust before painting. This approach involves progressing through specific stages.

Initially, it is necessary to clean the surface of corrosion. The choice of rust removal method depends on the budget, available tools, and the scale of work:

Sandpaper – a budget-friendly tool that allows surface cleaning from rust without involving a specialist.

Wire brush – requires more physical effort but is budget-friendly and effective;

Rust stabilizer – a liquid agent that stops the corrosion process by applying directly to rust and prepares the surface for subsequent steps.

Angle grinder – a more expensive option, the use of which may require specialist involvement. However, for DIY enthusiasts, it is an ideal way to achieve quality results.

Sandblasting – the most expensive of the listed methods, where professional involvement is essential, through which rust or old paint easily and quickly comes off the metal, and we reach healthy metal.

These methods ensure a clean and prepared surface, which promotes maximum paint adhesion and long-term operation.

After rust removal, the surface must be treated with paint solvent Thinner DX-40 or Nitro Thinner. In case of using a stabilizer, solvent is not necessary. After this, primer is applied to the surface.

Why is primer essential for metal? It creates a protective barrier against corrosion and ensures better paint adhesion. Such is Metal Primer – an anti-corrosion metal primer used to protect any type of metal surface from rust. For proper application, dilution by 5-10% with Nitro or Thinner DX-40 and application to a clean, dry surface is necessary.
