WRX Tri-Guard Metal Paint
A high-quality, solvent-based metal paint with modified alkyd resin that combines anti-rust primer, undercoat and top coat in one. Direct-to-rust technology adheres straight to ferrous metal for a smooth, glossy and long-lasting protective finish—suitable for interior and exterior use.
About
A tough, decorative coating designed to protect and beautify metalwork while reducing prep time and system complexity. It can also be used on wood and concrete, and on non-ferrous metals when correctly pre-primed (e.g., galvanised steel or aluminium with WRX Multi-Surface Primer). Ideal for doors, windows, railings, gates, furniture and more.
Prep
Ensure surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from contaminants that may impair adhesion. Remove loose or flaking material and repair defects.
Degrease bare metal. Thoroughly remove rust by wire-brushing, scraping, sand-blasting or wiping.
