Product Information

Full details

Hammerite Direct to Rust Smooth Metal Paint is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and beautify outdoor metalwork like fences, gates, and furniture. Its key benefit is a 2-in-1 formula that acts as both primer and topcoat, providing up to 8 years of rust protection with a smooth, glossy finish. A primary caveat is that it is solvent-based and intended specifically for outdoor metal surfaces; it should not be used indoors or on surfaces where temperatures fall outside the recommended application range.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically formulated for outdoor use and contains solvents that require high-ventilation environments.

Do I need to prime the metal first?

Generally no, the 2-in-1 formula acts as its own primer; however, special metals like galvanized steel or aluminum do require a specialized primer first.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat to ensure the first layer has set correctly.

How do I clean my brushes after painting?

You must use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Standard water or white spirit may not be effective.

What is the surface coverage of one 750ml can?

The paint covers approximately 5 square meters per liter.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running

You are likely applying too much paint at once; use thinner coats and ensure thorough brushing.

Poor adhesion on the metal surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of grease and loose rust before painting.

Paint reaction on previously painted surfaces

Perform a test patch first. If the paint bubbles or reacts, you must remove the old paint entirely before applying Hammerite.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for a separate primer
  • Provides long-lasting 8-year protection
  • Easy to apply with standard brushes or rollers
  • Excellent weather resistance for outdoor use

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor use
  • Requires specific cleaning solvents rather than water
  • Requires careful temperature management during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the temperature is between 8°C and 25°C. For successful application, abrade smooth metal surfaces and use a wire brush to remove all loose rust or flaking paint. Clean the surface with diluted detergent, rinse with water, and allow it to dry completely. On bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces, apply a separate primer first. When painting, stir the can lightly, do not mix vigorously. Apply thin, even coats to avoid sagging. After use, clean tools using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners, as the product is solvent-based and will not clean up with soap and water.
