Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Pre-prime aluminium, stainless steel, brass, copper or galvanised metal with CRC Etch It Etch Primer for White & Yellow Metals 2110 - 400ml before applying Prep It. For bare or lightly rusted steel, use CRC Prime It Anti-Corrosive Primer for Steel 2091 - 400ml. If rust cannot be removed, treat it with CRC Rust Converter first: CRC Rust Converter.

Using it

Surface preparation: remove signs of corrosion with a wire brush or emery paper or similar. If rust cannot be removed, treat the surface with CRC Rust Converter after thoroughly abrading rusty areas with a wire brush. Clean the surface with CRC Brakleen or similar degreaser if required. Where possible, abrade the surface with disc grinding, wire brush or sandpaper.

Directions: shake the can until the agitator ball is moving freely, then for at least 1 further minute. Apply with smooth even strokes to a clean, dry surface, holding the can approximately 25cm from the surface until the desired coverage is achieved.

When finished spraying, clean the valve by turning the can upside down and pressing the button until only pressure escapes. Clean up with mineral turpentine or white spirits.

Pre-prime those surfaces with CRC Etch It first.
