Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the metal surface is clean, dry, and free of grease using a diluted detergent. For smooth, non-rusty surfaces, lightly abrade the area first to ensure proper adhesion. On bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces, you must use a specialized metal primer before applying Hammerite.
Always stir the paint gently before use—do not mix vigorously. After painting, clean your brushes using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners, as water will not effectively remove this solvent-based product. Store the paint in a cool place, away from extreme temperatures, and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product integrity.
