Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation
Before application, ensure the surface is free of grease, dust, and loose rust. Use a diluted detergent wash followed by clean water, then allow it to dry completely. For non-ferrous metals like zinc, aluminium, or galvanised surfaces, you must use a dedicated metal primer first to ensure adhesion.
Application Tips
- Use a clean brush or roller.
- Do not thin the paint.
- Apply in even strokes, being careful to cover all edges and corners.
- Avoid heavy coats to prevent sagging.
Tool Care
After you finish, remove as much excess paint as possible from your brush or roller. Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to thoroughly clean your tools. Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place away from extreme heat or cold.
