Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 DEEP TINT’s mold & mildew-resistant film offers effective resistance to the formation of mold & mildew on the underside and surface of the primer film, prolonging the life of your paint job. When applied over clean ferrous metal surfaces like iron and steel, it dries to a smooth, tight film that inhibits long-term rust from developing under the primer film when dry - eliminating the need for a separate rust inhibitive primer. It is ideal for priming interior and exterior metalwork such as iron railings, steel doors and metal panels.
