Good stuff - covers very well!
I used this to prime a very tired garage door (see photo). It is quite 'sticky' but covers a multitude of sins. The tin was more than adequate to do the entire door, which was prepped with a quick rub down with a wire brush.

VW T4 sills protected.
Used on my T4 sills after work was done as a protective primer before repainting. Definitely keeps rust at bay and goes on fairly thick. Recommend two coats for peace of mind, but for a 28 year old vehicle on uk roads, I would recommend this over any other brand for lasting protection. Brush dries hard fast, as took a few hours to dry before re coat, so make sure you put it on in one go, sacrificing a brush while first coat dries is not that bad. Followed by two coats of paint (van colour) and ready to go camping again in peace.

Very nice product and great quality.
Great reassurance for any metal undercoat especially for classic cars. The best method I use is to thin the red oxide down and use a spray gun doing thin layers at a time. Build up lightly to however many coats you like then I use bitumen paint as a top coat. Firstly, get the rust off and treat it with some rust remover then apply the build of oxide as you wish then what ever top coat you fancy. Things will last you many years to come if you do a good job and take your time. I recommend Hammarite oxide primer for the durability and has work for me for years with fantastic results. The prep work is key, wouldn't just paint over rust, couldn't live with that. 100% + 5 stars from me. Great service too. Tin arrived in perfect condition.. Thank you.
