Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is strictly formulated for outdoor use.

How long do I wait between coats?

You should allow the first coat to dry for 16 hours before applying a second coat.

Do I need a primer?

It is recommended for bare metal or rusty steel areas to ensure long-term durability and adhesion.

How do I clean my tools after painting?

Remove as much excess paint as possible, then clean brushes with white spirit or Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners.

What is the best temperature for application?

The ideal application temperature range is between 8°C and 25°C.

Can this be used on furniture?

While the manufacturer suggests suitability for furniture, it is a solvent-based, exterior-grade paint, so ensure adequate ventilation if used in such a capacity.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running on vertical surfaces

Ensure you are not overloading the brush or roller. Apply thinner coats to avoid accumulation.

Poor paint adhesion

The surface likely was not prepped correctly. Ensure all rust and grease were removed and the surface was lightly abraded before application.

Paint feels tacky after 4 hours

High humidity or low temperatures can extend drying times. Allow for more time to cure, ideally ensuring the temperature stays above 8°C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is the most critical step for success. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free from rust, oil, grease, and loose paint. Use abrasive paper to key the surface, and if you are working on bare galvanized steel or aluminum, apply a dedicated metal primer first.

  1. Surface Prep: Clean with white spirit to remove any lingering grease.
  2. Priming: Apply a suitable metal primer for bare or rusty steel areas.
  3. Application: Stir the paint gently before use. Avoid vigorous mixing.
  4. Coating: Apply 1 to 2 coats. If a second coat is necessary, allow the first to dry for 16 hours.
  5. Cleanup: Clean brushes using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners or white spirit.
