Answer This Question
A: We're happy to help, Caesar. When applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Automotive Primer to rusted surfaces we recommend removing any loose rust by sanding and then applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Rust Reformer. It is then not necessary to apply a primer after as the Rust Reformer chemically converts the rust into a paintable surface.
