Product Information

Full details

Hammerite Direct To Rust Metal Paint is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts looking to restore metal surfaces like fences and outdoor furniture with a vibrant yellow, high-gloss finish.

While highly effective, it is a solvent-based paint specifically designed for exterior use, meaning it requires proper ventilation and should not be used indoors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is formulated for exterior use only due to its solvent-based composition.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch-dry in approximately 1 to 2 hours and can be recoated after 4 hours.

Do I need to sand the metal before painting?

You should remove loose, flaking paint and rust with a wire brush. Smooth, glossy surfaces should be abraded to provide a 'key' for better adhesion.

How many coats should I apply?

For bare or rusty metal, apply 2 coats. For previously painted metal in good condition, 1 coat is usually sufficient.

Is this paint compatible with all metal types?

It is excellent for iron and steel. For galvanised, zinc, or aluminium surfaces, you must apply a specific metal primer first.

How do I clean my brushes after painting?

Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to clean tools; standard soap and water will not work on this solvent-based product.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running during application

You are applying too much paint. Use thinner layers and ensure even distribution to avoid runs.

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned of all grease and loose rust. If working with aluminium or galvanised metal, ensure you used a specialized primer first.

Air bubbles in the finish

Avoid stirring the paint vigorously before use. If you see bubbles, let the paint sit for a moment before applying.

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.
