Full details

Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to restore and protect metal fixtures like railings, gates, and garden furniture. This solvent-based 3-in-1 formula acts as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat in one, significantly reducing prep time while providing up to eight years of robust corrosion resistance. Users should note that this is a solvent-based product with a high VOC content, requiring well-ventilated conditions and careful handling during application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically designed for outdoor use and contains a high VOC content.

How long do I wait between coats?

You should wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat.

Do I need to sand the metal before painting?

You should abrade smooth surfaces to create a better bond and use a wire brush to remove loose rust and flaking paint.

What is the recommended temperature for application?

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

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Remove excess paint and clean brushes using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners.

How many coats are required for rusty metal?

Two coats are recommended for bare or rusty metal to ensure full protection.

Troubleshooting

The paint is sagging after application.

You likely applied the paint too heavily. Use lighter, thinner coats to prevent drips and sagging.

The paint reacted with the existing surface.

Remove all existing paint layers entirely before reapplying, as the surface may be incompatible with the solvent-based formula.

Paint is not adhering to zinc or galvanized surfaces.

These materials require a specialized primer. Apply Hammerite Special Metals Primer first before using the Direct to Rust paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is crucial for optimal results. For smooth surfaces, abrade them lightly to provide a key, and use a wire brush to remove any loose rust or flaking old paint. Clean the surface with a diluted detergent, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry completely. Perform a small test patch on previously painted surfaces to ensure compatibility before applying to the entire item. For non-ferrous metals like zinc or aluminum, apply a dedicated metal primer first. After painting, use specialized Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to clean your equipment, and store the paint in a cool, temperate environment to prevent degradation.
