Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I really need a primer?

No, the 3-in-1 formula is designed to function as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat all in one.

Can I use this paint indoors?

This product is primarily formulated for exterior metal. It is not suitable for indoor living spaces due to its solvent-based composition.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch-dry in one hour, with a recoat time of four hours.

Can I use this on plastic or wood?

No, this product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces.

How do I clean my brushes?

Remove as much excess paint as possible, then use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners.

Is it safe to paint over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is in sound condition. Perform a test patch first; if no reaction occurs after one hour, you can proceed.

Troubleshooting

The paint is sagging or running during application

You have likely applied the paint too heavily. Use thin, even coats and ensure you do not over-apply in corners or edges.

The paint is not sticking to a galvanized surface

Direct application is not recommended for galvanized or aluminum surfaces. Strip the paint and apply a dedicated special metals primer first.

Surface feels tacky after the recommended drying time

This may occur due to high humidity or low temperatures. Ensure you are applying within the 8°C to 25°C range and allow extra time for the solvent to evaporate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, work in temperatures between 8°C and 25°C. For bare or rusty metal, two coats are required, while one coat may suffice for sound, previously painted surfaces.

Surface Prep: Abrade smooth surfaces and remove loose rust with a wire brush. Clean with diluted detergent and rinse, allowing the surface to dry completely.
Application: Stir gently before use—do not mix vigorously. Apply using a brush or roller, being careful not to over-apply, as this can cause sagging.
Compatibility: While it works on most iron surfaces, bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized metals require a specific Hammerite special metals primer first.
Tool Care: Clean brushes immediately after use using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
