VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K
VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K is a professional two-component primer that provides the perfect solution for protecting metal surfaces against corrosion. This fast-drying primer is made from specially modified alkyd resin and enriched with zinc phosphate, resulting in excellent adhesion and durability.
This primer is ideal for various metals such as iron, steel, and aluminium but is not suitable for zinc or galvanised steel. Thanks to its versatility, this primer can be quickly overcoated and is compatible with different types of topcoats, even those containing "hot" solvents.
Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, working in shipbuilding, or active in the industrial sector, VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K provides the reliable protection you need.
Pros and Cons

What is VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K used for?
VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K is used for priming metals and iron types. This rust-inhibiting primer is widely applied in shipbuilding and industry. Its powerful formula offers long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, which is crucial in environments where metal surfaces are constantly exposed to harsh conditions. Using this primer creates a durable base, ensuring optimal adherence for subsequent finishes and significantly extending the material's lifespan. A two-component product must always be mixed together; component A and B should be combined and then thoroughly machine-mixed into a homogeneous blend. Once mixed, the pot life is limited, so you need to work faster than you might be used to. After the coating has been prepared, it cannot be reused. It might be wise to prepare smaller quantities to minimise waste.
What is the usage rate per m² of this product?
The usage rate of VP Platinum Metal Primer 2K depends on the layer thickness and the application method. On average, one litre of primer can cover an area of 10 to 12 m². This makes it efficient, allowing smaller amounts of product to cover a large area, which is cost-effective for both small and large-scale projects.
Which colours can this product be mixed in?
We can mix any colour using our mixing system. To create your desired colour, you can simply choose from our colour selector or contact us. For mixing VP paints and coatings, we use the proper machines and official pigments.
What brush should I use?
For applying VP Platinum Metal Coating 2K, it is recommended to use a high-quality brush like the VP Platinum Mix Fibre. This brush is specifically designed to ensure smooth and even application, which is crucial for a professional finish. However, keep in mind that the brush can only be used once, as the properties of the two-component coating make it difficult to clean the brush after use. Therefore, it may be practical to use a disposable brush, especially for smaller projects or when single-use is sufficient. This saves time and effort in cleaning and ensures you always have a clean brush for each application..
What paint roller should I use?
For applying this product, we recommend using a nylon roller. It is important to note that this roller can only be used once. The properties of two-part coatings make it nearly impossible to clean the roller after use. Therefore, it is wise to use a fresh nylon roller for each new application. This guarantees an even and professional finish, saves time and effort in cleaning, and ensures you always use clean and effective tools.
