A: This is a great question! A primer is not needed if the metal or previous coat is in good, sound condition. However, if the surface has rust, we recommend priming the surface before applying Rust-Oleum Specialty Farms and Implement Paint for be adhesion results.

The primer we can recommend using is Rust-Oleum Specialty Farm and Implement Red Oxide Metal Primer. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rust-oleum-specialty-farm-implement-red-oxide-metal-primer-1-gal-1082773 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
