Q:I want to reseal the inside of a large compressed air tank.
My plan to apply paint to the inside is to basically pour some in and roll it around. Do this until fully coated. Should this work if I prevent it from getting to thick in an area?

Answer This Question
A: Thank you for reaching out. Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Rusty Metal Primer is intended to be applied with a paint brush, roller, or sprayer. This will ensure an even application. Pouring and rolling into the surface can cause excess primer to pool at the bottom while drying.

A: Great question! Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Rusty Metal Primer provides excellent rust prevention when applied directly to metal. Make sure to properly prep the surface and remove any loose rust. The Rusty Metal Primer must be top coated with a paint, we recommend using Our Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Protective Enamel Paint in Smoke Gray or Aluminum. As always, make sure to test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure favorable results.
