For interior use the Kilz Original can be used on bare metal but it shouldn't be used over rattle can paint. If it were me I would just let the paint you are using cure for two weeks and just spray it white again. Just don't put a thick wet coat over it or the toluene in the rattle can paint will bring out the red again. It will eventually cover, you just have to let the paint cure good between coats.

It minimizes problems caused by surface texture and porosity differences. It’s ready to brush, roll or spray and can be topcoated after one hour with latex or oil-based paint. Surface prep is still the most important step. Strip that sucker bare and clean it dry first... [Reply]  [No Email]

Also if the fire hydrant was sandblasted down to bare metal using a latex product you would have trouble with rust bleading through the paint. [Reply]  [No Email]
