I thought so. It's my thinking that you spray it liberally over newly welded panels until you're ready to do the painting.
Do you need to remove it before going for the proper paint job?

As above can i topcoat straight over the to and will red oxide stick to bare metal thanks

I believe you treat it as a primer.

Hopefully someone will confirm tho...

the red oxide i'm using is in a tin and i brush it on, takes very well and drys with a matt finish.
i'm only using this in the ares that are either underneath or gonna get covered up so the finish isnt a problem.
