BLACK PRIMER, INDUSTRIAL GRADE, OIL BASE
Bobco's industrial-grade, oil-based black primer is a high-performance coating engineered for superior corrosion protection on metal surfaces. Its robust alkyd formulation provides excellent adhesion, making it the ideal foundation for direct-to-metal (DTM) applications in demanding fabrication and MRO environments.
- Industrial Grade Oil-Based Alkyd
- DTM (Direct-to-Metal) Capable
- Excellent Corrosion & Weather Resistance
- Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metal Surfaces
This black primer is formulated with a high-solids, oil-based alkyd resin system, designed for maximum penetration and adhesion to prepared metal substrates. The formulation creates a tough, flexible film that actively inhibits rust and corrosion by providing a barrier against moisture and atmospheric contaminants. It is engineered to serve as a foundational layer in a multi-coat system or for direct-to-metal (DTM) applications, ensuring long-term durability and preparing the surface for a variety of industrial topcoats like epoxies or polyurethanes.
Ideal for MRO and new fabrication projects, this industrial-grade primer is essential for protecting structural steel, machinery, equipment, and ornamental ironwork. It is the go-to choice for welders, fabricators, and maintenance professionals in the Los Angeles area who require a reliable, easy-to-apply coating for surface preparation. Its versatility makes it suitable for both shop application and field touch-ups, providing a consistent, protective base before the final color coat is applied. Bulk quantities are available for large-scale projects.
Specifications
- Material: Oil-Based Alkyd Resin
- Standards: Meets performance criteria for industrial metal coatings (MIL-SPEC comparable)
- Strength/Tensile: N/A (Focus on Adhesion & Corrosion Resistance)
- Dimensions: Available in Aerosol Cans, Quarts, 1-Gallon & 5-Gallon Pails

- Certifications: Industrial Quality Certification
Applications
- Fabrication & Welding: Priming newly fabricated steel parts, frames, and weldments to prevent flash rust and ensure topcoat adhesion.
- MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations): Refinishing and protecting industrial machinery, equipment, and structural components from corrosion.
- Architectural & Ornamental: Providing a protective base coat for ornamental iron, fences, gates, and handrails before applying a final finish.
- Construction: Coating structural steel beams, columns, and other metal building materials for long-term durability.
Target Users
Primarily used by metal fabricators, industrial maintenance crews, construction teams, and MRO professionals. This commercial primer is essential for any project requiring long-lasting corrosion protection on steel and iron surfaces.
Finish Options
This product provides a consistent matte black finish, specifically designed to promote strong adhesion with subsequent topcoats. It serves as a foundational layer and is not intended as a final finish. Can be top-coated with a wide range of industrial paints including alkyd, epoxy, and polyurethane in various sheens from gloss to satin.
How to Measure
Primer quantity is determined by the total square footage of the surface to be coated and the recommended film thickness. A general rule is 300-400 sq. ft. per gallon, but always consult the product's technical data sheet for precise coverage rates. Ensure you account for surface porosity and potential waste during application (e.g., overspray).
Example: To cover a 1,200 sq. ft. steel structure, you would require approximately 3-4 gallons for a single coat.
