 Daniel Eastwood on 2024-09-29 10:04:55 | Question:
Once dry will this affect the chemical properties and ultimately the adhesion of an epoxy resin? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming application would be over an existing epoxy coating, within the overcoat period, this product could be used in this type of scenario. However, if any chemicals attack the surface, it would be difficult to advise how this coating would react long-term. | |
| Daniel on 2024-01-17 22:17:04 | Question:
Hi - can I use this directly onto mild steel to give a clear coating to protect against rusting? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately no. This product is designed for use over Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Fluorescent Topcoats, Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2111 Sparkling Aluminium , Rust-Oleum 2115 Hard Hat Aluminium, and Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2116 Stainless Steel Coating to increase durability, exterior Performance, gloss level and cleanability.

| Siobhan harper on 2021-03-22 21:15:47 | Question:
I’m looking at buying the aluminium primer and this top coat. Can I use metallic rust oleum copper spray paint (metallic) between them? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This is a protecting coating that can be applied over various Rust-Oleum products, old fading coatings or directly onto many surfaces, we would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application. | |
| Scott on 2018-01-06 17:14:03 | Question: Can this be used on ral 2000 combi colour that was brushed on not sprayed
