About this item

  • Special feature: Fast-Drying
  • Specific uses for product: Exterior


Zero Rust is a direct-to-metal, phenolic modified-alkyd rust and corrosion control coating which puts down an impermeable barrier at the steel level. It is chemical, heat, and abrasion resistant, thus providing superior rust control. Under ASTM-B117 salt spray testing, Zero Rust exceeded 2000 hours of continuous salt spray at 3.5 mils dry film thickness (dft). This equates to 600 hours per dry mil, which was previously unheard of in an air-dry system. As a rule of thumb, Zero Rust should provide five years protection for every 3 mils dft, given proper surface preparation. With the addition of a topcoat or a thicker film of Zero Rust to handle ultraviolet rays, sealing protection can easily double. Zero Rust can withstand intermittent temperatures of 250-300 degrees before the resin starts baking out. Maintenance of a Zero Rust paint job is easy – just scuff surface with sandpaper before re-coating. Zero Rust Advantages: Provides maximum adhesion to steel – this is called chemical affinity. Extraordinary dielectric ability – steel is isolated from the electrolysis process which converts steel to rust. In laymen’s terms, this means that if you can starve the oxygen from the substrate, oxidation (rust) cannot occur. Easy-to-use, single package convenience eliminates mixing as in 2-part epoxy paints, allowing leftovers to be stored, not trashed Outperforms epoxy with no time constraints and easy touch-ups 40% harder than epoxy and 25% harder than urethane, yet does not get brittle Easy clean-up with xylene or lacquer thinner Longer shelf life than the competition High solids content for superior coverage and performance Environmentally friendly, low in volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) Safe to use – contains no lead, barium, isocyanates or epichlorohydrin Can be used either as a primer or satin finish final coat Can be used on metal, concrete or wood Coverage:(For siphon gun application a reduction of 15-20% with xylene is typical) 866 square feet per gallon per dry mil (.001 inch) 288 square feet per gallon for the recommended 3 mils of dft Drying Time: Zero Rust is a fast-dry coating which dries to the touch in 30 minutes and is tack-free within one hour, depending upon relative humidity and temperature. NOTE: Drying time can also be affected by film thickness, flash-off time between coats, amount of thinning and air movement.

As someone who usually leaves the car maintenance to my husband, I was a bit hesitant when he asked me to buy the Primer Undercoating Direct to Metal Rust Control Black Rust Inhibitive Coating. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have to say, it turned out to be one of the best purchases we’ve made for our cars. My husband is meticulous about vehicle upkeep, especially since we live in an area prone to rust due to road salt and humidity, and this product has exceeded both our expectations.Following his instructions, I applied the coating to the undercarriages of our family cars, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the process was. The coating went on smoothly, and the black finish looked impressively sleek. My husband, who usually rechecks everything, was genuinely impressed with the results, and that’s saying something! He mentioned that it adhered perfectly to the metal and provided a solid, protective barrier against rust and corrosion. Even after several months of winter driving, there’s no sign of rust, and our cars' undersides look as good as new.The one-gallon size was more than enough to cover both our vehicles, with some left over for future touch-ups. It’s reassuring to know that our cars are well-protected and that we’ve invested in something that really works. My husband’s satisfaction with this purchase has been a win for both of us, making this primer undercoating an essential part of our car maintenance routine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to protect their vehicles from rust with a high-quality, easy-to-use product.

The coating went on smoothly and dried to a tough, black finish that not only looks great but also provides excellent coverage. My dad mentioned that it adheres well to the metal, creating a strong, protective barrier against rust and corrosion.Seeing the look of satisfaction on his face when we finished was worth it.

I recently used the Primer Undercoating Direct to Metal Rust Control Black Rust Inhibitive Coating on my truck's undercarriage, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results. The application was straightforward, thanks to the product's smooth consistency, which made it easy to apply evenly with both a brush and a sprayer. The coverage was excellent, and after just one coat, the metal looked uniformly covered with a sleek and professional black finish. This coating has truly proven its worth; living in an area with harsh winters and heavy road salt, my truck's undercarriage typically takes a severe beating. However, this rust inhibitive coating has effectively kept rust at bay. It's been several months since I applied it, and I haven't seen a single spot of rust forming. It not only saved me from potential costly repairs but also extended the life of my vehicle. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to protect their vehicles or metal equipment from rust and corrosion. The one-gallon container is a fantastic value, offering plenty of products to get the job done right.
