Do you need to prime rusted galvanized metal?

Yes, it is advisable to prime rusted galvanized metal before painting. The primer helps to create a better bond between the rusted surface and the paint, preventing peeling and ensuring a more durable finish. Use a rust-inhibiting primer specifically designed for metal surfaces to effectively seal the rust and enhance adhesion. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and removing loose rust, is also essential for optimal results.


What protects a car from rusting?

Modern cars get rust protection from their paint, the fact that the sheet metal in the body is galvanized, the undercarriage usually gets and undercoat of some type and, of course, all the petroleum products that get used.

How does paint protect metal and what happens to the paint cracks?

The paint forms a seal and prevents water and air from reaching the metal surface and prevents corrosion or rust from forming. A crack in the paint would allow water to reach the metal and cause corrosion or rusting beneath the paint surface, out of sight until the rust becomes visible. A road chip thrown against a car's paintwork is a likely cause of pitting on a car - which spreads and causes rust holes in the car's bodywork unless treated as soon as possible.


How does wax seal help to protect the car from rusting?

oxygen in the air and water react with the metal of the car to form rust.. the wax forms a waterproof layer which makes it harder for substances to reach the metal.. therefore leaving it unreacted :)
