What happens here

Pour Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Rusty Metal Primer into a smaller working bucket. Use a small 'weenie roller' to apply the primer directly to any particularly rusty areas or weld joints at the bottom of the fence. Even though the chosen primer can be applied directly over some rust, physically rolling it onto these spots helps ensure maximum bite, adhesion, and penetration of the rust-inhibiting properties. The primer dries very quickly, especially in direct sunlight, so it's important to work efficiently.

Goal: Provide a rust-resistant base coat to critical areas.

Tools and materials

  • Small Bucket — Holding a manageable amount of primer for rolling
  • Weenie Roller — Applying primer to small or rusted areas

trying to do it by hand so i got my rust-oleum rusty metal primer now i'm gonna load up my bucket fold that now most of this stuff doesn't need to be primed i'm just priming hitting it all just spot priming it just you know as an added measure just to help my top coat bond better and stuff since i got the primer out but there's a few spots here that are pretty heavily rested i'm hitting those there's one of them right here it's actually rusted all the way through the fence but spindles all look pretty good most of them don't need to be primed primer dries specs on it is one to three hours it's dry if you're going to put another coat it says 24 hours it's amazing because it's actually um i just put it on it's already dry in some areas like we're talking like minutes later it's already dry just such a oil-based coating so it's really thin definitely don't need to put it on really heavier to run this brush rolling it you know just helps adhesion penetration of the product being as thin as it is too you gotta say you gotta not don't put on too much it splatters really bad so um just be careful make sure you have drop cloths cause it is really thin it's not bad it's just you just got to be aware of what you're using the product you're using a little bit goes a whole long ways too so say oh probably this fence whole entire fence will probably just take a gallon maybe two gallons
