Product Information

Full details

Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint is a heavy-duty, solvent-based coating designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to restore or protect metal structures like fences and garden furniture. Its primary advantage is the 3-in-1 formulation that eliminates the need for separate primers and undercoats, significantly reducing project time. While it offers an impressive 8-year protection span against rust and weather, users should note it is strictly intended for outdoor use due to its solvent-based composition.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running during application

You have likely applied too much paint. Use thinner coats and ensure even coverage without overloading your brush.

Poor adhesion on metal surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of grease and dirt. If the surface was previously painted, perform a test patch first to check for chemical reactions.

Paint finish is not leveling correctly

Check that the application temperature is within the recommended 8°C to 25°C range and that the surface is fully dry before painting.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the ambient temperature is between 8°C and 25°C.

Surface Prep: Remove all loose rust and flaking paint with a wire brush. Clean the surface with diluted detergent, rinse with water, and allow to dry completely.
Special Materials: If painting zinc, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces, you must use a separate metal primer first, as the direct-to-rust formula is not designed for these specific alloys.
Application: Stir the paint lightly before use; do not mix vigorously. Apply using a brush or roller. Avoid over-applying, as this may cause sagging.
Tool Maintenance: After finishing, remove as much excess paint as possible, then clean your brushes using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Never use water to clean the tools.
