FAQs

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

No, Ronseal Direct to Metal Paint is formulated to be applied directly to metal surfaces, including those with existing rust, without the need for a separate primer.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is showerproof in just 30 minutes. Recoat time is typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is suitable for bare metal, previously painted metal, cast iron, aluminium, and wood.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based paint, brushes and equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.

What is the coverage rate?

The paint provides coverage of up to 8m² per litre.

How long will the protection last?

Ronseal Direct to Metal Paint offers up to 15 years of protection.

Can I use this on galvanized steel?

It is not recommended for direct application on galvanized steel. A suitable primer should be used first.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. For glossy surfaces, ensure adequate abrasion was performed.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint; aim for smooth, consistent strokes.

Rust bleeding through

Remove as much loose rust as possible before painting. Apply a second coat if necessary. Ensure the first coat has fully dried before recoating.

Paint drying too quickly

Work in smaller sections. Avoid painting in direct hot sunlight or high temperatures, which can cause premature drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves time by not requiring a primer.
  • Offers robust, long-term protection.
  • Easy to apply with water-based cleanup.
  • Dries quickly, allowing for faster recoating.
  • Effective at preventing rust and corrosion.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for all extreme weather conditions without additional topcoats.
  • Water-based paints can sometimes have different application sensitivities than solvent-based.
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion, despite direct application claims.
  • Coverage can vary significantly based on surface porosity and application method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose debris. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces with sandpaper.
  2. If applying over existing rust, remove loose rust with a wire brush. The paint can be applied directly over sound, tight rust.
  3. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for bare metal, previously painted metal, cast iron, aluminium, and wood.
  • Not recommended for use on surfaces that will be in prolonged contact with water or on galvanized steel without a suitable primer.

Care:

  • Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
  • Wipe spills promptly.
  • Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
