Re: Structural SteelQuote:
I am doing a building remodel that had green primer on the steel, the guy doing my stairs said it is an old style primer that was banned due to being bad for the environment, but it worked real good. |

Re: Structural Steel
The only time I've seen it red is when I got it from "Better Header".

Re: Structural Steel
The red primer is a red oxide that won't interfere with onsite welding and mildly protects the metal from flash rusting
