Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically formulated for outdoor use only.

Do I need to remove all the rust before painting?

No, you only need to remove loose, flaking rust with a wire brush. You can paint directly over sound, adherent rust.

How many coats should I apply?

For bare or rusty metal, two coats are recommended. For metal already in good condition, a single coat is usually sufficient.

What is the drying time?

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

Can I use this on a radiator?

No, please use specialized radiator paint for indoor heating elements.

Do I need to thin the paint before use?

No, the paint is ready-mixed and should not be thinned for brush application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running

Avoid over-applying; use multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to prevent drips.

Paint is not adhering to the metal

Ensure the surface is completely free of grease, dust, or loose flakes. If working on zinc or aluminum, verify that a specialized primer was used first.

Bubbles or blistering after drying

Usually caused by applying in direct, intense sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure application occurs between 8°C and 25°C.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No separate primer or undercoat required
  • Excellent for restoring weathered or rusted metal
  • Provides up to 8 years of weather resistance
  • Fast drying time for quick project completion
  • Versatile application on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor use
  • High VOC content requires careful handling and ventilation
  • Requires specific cleaning solvents for brushes
  • Sensitivity to application temperatures (below 8°C)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key to a professional finish. Before applying, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust by using a diluted detergent. If applying over previously painted metal, perform a test patch on a small area and wait one hour; if there is no adverse reaction, you may proceed with the full surface. For bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces, you must use a specialized metal primer before applying Hammerite.

After finishing your project, clean your brushes using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners rather than standard water-based thinners. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the solvent from drying out.
