I use it that way, and ...........  In an application like that I regard
more as a primer.
for example, I sanded and painted the lightly rusted top on a chevy
pick-up.  Within a year or so the Zero Rust paint kinda 'wasn't there'
much. But with a top coat of a good enamel or whatever I'm sure it would
have been fine.
