I'm trying to figure out what red oxide primer to use on the Scammell.
Years ago a friend of mine painted an old rusty trailer with red oxide and never top-coated it with anything, its still not rusting.
I bought some 'red oxide' primer in a spray tin which turned out to be rubbish and have no rust inhibiting properties at all :argh: And the zinc 182 primer I have doesn't seem much better.
My question is what primers have you guys used successfully and what should I look out for? I only wish to paint this thing the once!
