Description

Diamond Brite Oil-Alkyd Primer is a coating that seals the surface and lays down a base coat to accept a finish coat. This product is a durable enamel that helps protect interior and exterior surfaces against repeated abrasion, rust and a variety of household chemicals. This product is excellent for use in industrial applications, machinery, commercial usage, and around the household. This product works best on surfaces such as Wood, Drywall, Plaster, Masonry, Metal, Well-bonded Wallpaper, Brick, Stucco, Aluminum, and Cinder Block.

Diamond Brite Oil-Alkyd Primer is applicable for any use where the application requires a primer/sealer. This oil-based primer will stand up against surfaces that receive high-traffic use. When used with the Diamond-Brite 31000 series All Purpose Enamel, the painted surface will receive excellent rust stopping results when applied on metal surfaces.

In order to achieve the best results, we highly recommend that the user choose excellent-quality applicators when applying this product. This product will average 300 square feet of coverage per gallon.
