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. Review: Primer paint - Good product at a good price ## Features - Contains 2-butanone oxime. May produce an allergic reaction. - Flammable liquid and vapour. - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - May cause drowsiness or dizziness. - Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. - PAINT DIRECTLY ON TO RUST – specially formulated so you can paint the metal primer over rusty surfaces and still achieve a perfect, smooth protective base that lasts for years and helps prevent rust and corrosion forming - EASY TO USE – preparation is simple – brush away any loose, flaky paint or rust and brush the red oxide primer straight on to the metal with minimal sanding needed.

The tin says: good for bare or rusty iron and steel. For use on aluminium, galvanised and non-ferrous metals, use other products. This is where it gets tricky, old, pre 1970s radiators used cast iron and steel. After the 1970s, a lot of modern radiators use copper pipes with aluminium fins. So, just check your radiators. I just did a test of my modern ones (2007) and the fins look like they are inside and using a magnet on the outside (which stuck) I reckon that is steel. I would therefore assume I can use the Hammerite here. So, just do a magnet check and if you are happy you can try that. Have a look on the Hammerite website also. I did, my initial findings were that they were just selling the gloss top coat. You can research this more yourself if you like. Just remember though as I have stated above, the tin says this is good for iron & steel bare or rusty metal but NOT for aluminium, galvanised or non-ferrous metals (use another product for these). Hope this helps you. **Q: Will this be ok under a coat of enamel paint on an engine.** A: Probably. I don't know how it behaves at high temperatures but the outside of your engine shouldn't get too much over 100C. **Q: I want to paint a metal window white . Can I use this first then cover with undercoat and final coat in white without it showing through .** A: Yes you can. I rubbed down the metal first, no dust, nothing but metal, then used the primer. The next day, first coat of white, which did not cover the red oxide perfectly; but a second coat 6 hours later gave a marvellous finish. I've just bought some more, to do up our old iron garden bench. **Q: can I use this on my garage door and then paint a gloss paint over it please** A: I wouldn't use this if the door is smooth/new bare metal. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VW T4 sills protected. *by D***N on 27 February 2026* Used on my T4 sills after work was done as a protective primer before repainting.
