FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

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

How long do I need to wait between coats?

You should allow the first coat to dry overnight, with a recommended recoat time of approximately 16 hours.

Do I need to sand the garage door before painting?

Yes, lightly abrading painted surfaces with abrasive paper helps ensure the new paint bonds correctly to the old surface.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Use white spirit or Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to remove the paint before it dries.

What should I use to prime bare steel?

For best results on bare or rusty steel, use a dedicated metal primer like Hammerite No. 1 Rustbeater.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging on the door surface

Apply thinner layers and ensure you are not overloading the brush or roller during application.

Paint failing to adhere to bare metal

Ensure the surface was primed with a suitable metal primer like Hammerite Special Metals Primer prior to the topcoat.

Poor drying or tacky finish

Check that the application temperature was within the 8-25°C range and that the humidity was not excessively high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to weathering and discoloration
  • Easy application on vertical surfaces due to anti-run formula
  • Provides a long-lasting, durable protective layer
  • Compatible with both metal and wood substrates

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor use due to solvent-based composition
  • Requires significant drying time between coats
  • Involves use of white spirit for tool cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is essential for a lasting finish. Start by ensuring the surface is entirely dry, clean, and free of oil, grease, or rust. Use a wire brush or abrasive paper to prep existing painted surfaces, and always degrease with white spirit before painting. If you are working with bare aluminium or galvanised steel, you must use a suitable metal primer (such as Hammerite Special Metals Primer) to ensure proper adhesion. For bare or rusty steel, a product like Hammerite No. 1 Rustbeater is recommended as a base. After application, use white spirit or a dedicated brush cleaner to remove excess paint from your tools immediately, as the solvent-based nature of this paint makes it difficult to remove once fully cured.
