Understanding the

Killrust has been specifically formulated to offer the ultimate in metal protection through the
Wattyl Killrust 3 step system. This system will protect, rejuvenate and beautify your metal surfaces
by following the 3 easy steps.
Killrust offers superior solutions for
preparing rusted metal, clean steel
and difficult to reach surfaces.
The Killrust preparatory range provides superior solutions
for preparing rusted metal, clean steel and difficult to reach
surfaces. The result is a stable metal surface which is better
prepared for topcoating.

rust to fight corrosion and create a protective
barrier for greater metal protection.
The Killrust primer range contain rust inhibiting pigments
to chemically fight rust, whilst also forming a protective
barrier. They have excellent adhesion properties and provide
a sound base for topcoating.
The range of Killrust colours in Gloss
and Satin Enamel are designed to
provide superior protection.
A range of corrosion inhibiting enamels that provide a tough,
flexible coating with excellent durability properties. A wide
range of colours including factory tinted COLORBOND®
Killrust topcoats can be used indoors or outdoors and,
with the correct primer/undercoat, can even be used on
timber, brick, fibro, concrete and other surfaces. No primer
is required for new or lightly rusted steel or iron surfaces.
