Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A2: The primer can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray gun. Spraying yields the smoothest finish.

Q3: Do I need to sand the primer before painting?
A3: Yes, once fully dry, lightly sanding the surface will enhance paint adhesion and finish quality.

Q4: Can I use this on non-metallic surfaces?
A4: No, Zinc 182 is specifically designed for use on ferrous metal surfaces and should not be used on plastics, wood, or non-metal substrates.

Q5: Is it necessary to use a topcoat after applying this primer?
A5: Yes, for long-term protection and appearance, always apply a suitable topcoat after priming.

Q6: Can I use it with other fillers besides ISOPON?
