Product Information

Full details

Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refurbish metal surfaces like fences and furniture without the need for multiple products. This 3-in-1 formula acts as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat, providing up to 8 years of rust protection with a durable, smooth gloss finish. While it is highly effective at stopping corrosion, users should note it is a solvent-based, flammable product that requires careful handling, good ventilation, and is specifically intended for outdoor use.

Reaction with previous paint layer

  • Stops rust from recurring on existing metal surfaces
  • Provides a high-quality, long-lasting glossy appearance
  • Specifically formulated for metal surfaces like fences and furniture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. Use a wire brush to remove flaking rust and paint. Always test a small patch on previously painted surfaces; if there is a reaction after one hour, remove the old paint entirely. Note that on zinc, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces, you must use Hammerite Special Metals Primer first.

Application should occur between 8°C and 25°C. After painting, clean your tools using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Store the container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and flames, and ensure it is kept out of reach of children.
