Warning!
Removing existing paint from surfaces by means of sanding, scraping, or

Special properties
Fast drying Metal-Guard Primers are specially formulated for weathered
galvanized surfaces, and for machinery, trucks, and other equipment exposed
to weather and wear. These primers provide good resistance to weather
and excellent resistance to wear and abrasion.
Where to use
These primers are ideal for metal equipment, and new and previously painted
metal surfaces such as roofs, gutters and downspouts, steel and aluminum.
They may be top coated with latex, alkyd, or oil-based paints.
Surface preparation
Surface must be clean and free from grease, rust, and scaling paint. Remove
all loose rust, corrosion, and paint by wire brushing or sanding to bright
metal. For new galvanized metal, allow to weather for six months or remove
oil coating with paint thinner and wash with vinegar. Rinse well before
applying Metal-Guard.
Application
Apply only when the air temperature and that of the surface to be painted
are above 45 degrees F. Avoid painting late in the day when dew or condensation
are likely to form or when rain is threatening. Use V-97 Paint & Enamel
Thinner as needed for brushing. Faster set time may be obtained by using
V-100 Synthetic Thinner. Large areas are more satisfactorily sprayed because
of the fast drying characteristics of these primers. Stir thoroughly before
using.
