Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is critical for achieving the 8-year protection rating. Before starting, ensure the surface is free of grease, dust, and loose particles by cleaning with a diluted detergent and rinsing with water. Always test a small patch if applying over existing paint to ensure no adverse chemical reaction occurs.
- Temperature Range: Apply only when the ambient temperature is between 8°C and 25°C.
- Tool Cleaning: Use `Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners` to clean brushes immediately after use, as the solvent-based formula dries quickly.
- Compatibility: If you are working with bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized metal, you must apply a dedicated metal primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly.
