DESCRIPTION: Farwest Pre-treatment Wash Primer is designed to meet the above referred to federal specification. It is intended for use on clean metal surfaces of all types as a treatment prior to the application of the primer and top-coating system.

To ensure best results, the pre-treatment should be coated with primer and finish as soon as possible.
