FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this specific product is formulated for outdoor use.

Do I need to sand the metal before applying?

You should abrade smooth surfaces to provide a key, and remove all loose rust or flaking paint with a wire brush.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should allow 4 hours of drying time before applying a second coat.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to remove the paint effectively.

Is a primer required?

No, this is a 2-in-1 paint and primer, so no separate undercoat is necessary for most metal surfaces.

What is the recommended temperature for application?

The ideal application temperature is between 8°C and 25°C.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running

You have likely applied the paint too heavily. Use thinner coats and ensure even coverage across corners and edges.

Paint is not adhering to the surface

The surface may still be greasy or dusty. Ensure thorough cleaning with a diluted detergent and ensure the surface is completely dry before re-application.

Reaction with previous paint layer

If the surface reacts to the test patch, you must strip the old paint back to the bare metal before applying the Hammerite paint.

  • Excellent long-term rust protection
  • Easy to apply with a brush or roller
  • Fast drying time with a 4-hour recoat window
  • Durable, weather-resistant glossy finish

  • Not suitable for indoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, stir the paint gently; do not mix vigorously to avoid introducing air bubbles. Use a brush or roller for application. For bare or rusty metal, two coats are required for maximum protection, while a single coat is often sufficient for previously painted metal in sound condition. If you are working with galvanized surfaces, aluminum, or zinc, you must apply a specialized primer first. After finishing, clean your tools using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to remove residue effectively. Store the product in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.
