Before application can begin, ensure that all loose rust and flaking paint has been removed from the metal using a wire brush.
If your chosen metal surface has already been painted over previous to application, then wash down thoroughly with diluted detergent and rinse with clean water and allow to dry. It is also important to ensure that your surface is totally compatible, to ensure this apply a small test patch of Hammerite metal paint to the painted surface. Any reaction will occur within an hour, if a reaction is evident, remove all paint then wash down with degreaser.
Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. For smooth metal surfaces, lightly abrade to achieve maximum adhesion.Cover the surface beneath the metal object with thick newspaper or a dust sheet to catch any spills or drips.
Stir tin of Hammerite Metal paint thoroughly before use, and apply with a good quality brush - A narrow brush is best for use on railings, whilst a broad brush is best for use on bigger metal objects, like a garden table.
Apply two thin coats of Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint for the best results, leaving to dry in between as per instructions on back of pack.
If metal surfaces begin to look tired or shabby, simply repeat the processes explained in both the preparation and application sections.
