Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, dirt, grease, flaking paint or rust.

Remove all loose rust and flaking paint from the metal using a wire brush.
Remove dirt and dust with diluted detergent.
For smooth metal surfaces, lightly abrade with a 240 grit sandpaper for maximum adhesion.
On bare zinc, aluminium and galvanised surfaces firstly apply .
Cover surrounding areas to catch any overspray or drips.

Application

Before applying the Hammered Direct to Rust Metal Paint test a small area and leave for 1 hour to ensure compatability. If there is no reaction apply the hammered paint directly to surface.

If there is a reaction remove all paint before applying Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint.
Do not apply in temperatures below 8˚C or above 25˚C.
Lightly stir before application, it is advised to not thin this product.
Apply with a narrow brush for railings and a broad brush on larger metal objects, such as a garden table.
On previously painted metal in sound condition, one coat should be sufficient.
On bare/rusty metal, two coats will be required for full depth of colour.
Ensure edges and corners are adequately covered to give the surface maximum durability.
Do not over apply as sagging will occur, be especially careful on vertical surfaces such as railings.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.
