The invention relates to an anti-corrosive coating agent for metal workpieces. For the purpose of good cathodic corrosion prevention, the anti-corrosive coating agent comprises an organic binder having a silicon-organic compound and particulate metal. The workpiece having an anti-corrosive coating is characterized in that the anti-corrosive coating comprises an organic binder having a silicon-organic compound and particulate metal. The method for producing an anti-corrosive coating on a workpiece is characterized by applying, in liquid form, a first coating, comprising an organic binder having a silicon-organic compound and particulate metal as the anti-corrosive coating, and then applying a second coating the composition of which preferably differs from that of the anti-corrosive coating.
