Q:Do I need to use a primer before I paint with this on metal spindles for bannister? Will the matte/flat finish scuff easy? Is it easy to clean?
by|Apr 3, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Happy to help! When applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint to bare metal, we do recommend a primer for the best coverage and adhesion. Keep in mind, while matte finishes will hide scuff marks and surface imperfections better, these finishes tend to stain or hold on to dust/dirt easier than a glossy finish. We would recommend waiting at least 7 days after application before cleaning the surface to allow the paint to fully cure.
