Unpainted Surfaces: Apply a coat of Sub Trop Red Metal Primer by either brush, roller or spray. Dipping may be required in some cases. Apply two top coats of the finish paint desired.
Painted Surfaces: Remove rust and spot metal with Sub Trop Red Metal Primer. Also spot chipped areas in the same manner before applying the desired finish coats.
