To begin, it is recommended that smooth surfaces have been abraded and all loose and flaking paint has been removed. Surfaces must be clean from all dirt, dust and grease and removed with a suitable detergent, once cleaned wipe down with water and allow time to dry.
For optimum results, test a small area of your chosen surface and leave for 1 hour, if a reaction appears then remove all paint before applying Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint.
Shake Hammerite Metal Paint aerosol can vigorously and in a vertical motion until the aligator ball is heard and then for a further 3 minutes.
To begin, apply light even coats from a distance of around 15cm, remembering to keep the aerosol can moving at all times (Do NOT concentrate spray in one spot). For maximum protection, apply 3-4 coats and allow around 15 minutes between coats.
Between coats it is advised that you upturn can and spray for 2 seconds to avoid any blockages. Once applied the paint should be dry in around 15 minutes.
If metal surfaces begin to look tired or shabby, simply repeat the processes explained in both the preparation and application sections.
