This simple one-step process gently etches metal, creating an ideal anchor pattern for coatings such as POR-15®, while simultaneously leaving a zinc phosphate film to promote chemical bonding of paint and steel. Avoid other preps that may leave harmful residues that prevent proper adhesion of POR-15® or other coatings.

AP-120 should always be used when painting directly over aluminum and other reactive metals such as; brass and copper. When used correctly according to the directions, it will insure a perfect bond every time.

AP-120 acts as an adhesion promoter for the metal surface. AP-120 is not flammable, but protective gloves and goggles should be worn.

Application:

After thoroughly degreasing your work piece, spray or brush AP-120 on to the metal surface to be painted and keep wet for two minutes. Then rinse with water, thoroughly dry the surface and paint. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
This will allow better adhesion of POR-15® or any paint. METAL READY™ is not caustic, corrosive, toxic or flammable.

A quick rule of thumb is that you'll probably need AP-120 in an amount equal to the POR-15 coating you're buying.
