Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used outdoors?

This product is best suited for dry indoor areas such as workshops, production halls, and warehouses.

Is surface preparation necessary?

Yes. You must ensure the substrate is dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, and loose rust for optimal durability.

Does it work on non-galvanised steel?

It is specifically designed for galvanised steel surfaces or substrates previously primed with anti-corrosion zinc paint.

What is the final finish like?

It provides a durable, attractive metallic silver appearance that restores the look of new galvanised components.

How much area does a 400 mL can cover?

Coverage depends on the thickness of the application and the porosity of the surface, but 400 mL is designed for standard renovation and touch-up tasks.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the metal surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of grease, dust, and loose rust. Use a degreasing agent and allow it to dry fully before reapplying.

Uneven finish or dripping during application

Apply the paint in several light, thin coats rather than one heavy application. Keep the nozzle a consistent distance from the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for aesthetic restoration of weathered galvanised steel
  • Easy to apply on diverse surfaces like gutters and steel structures
  • Provides a consistent and attractive metallic silver finish
  • Effective for maintenance in workshops and indoor industrial facilities

Cons

  • Recommended primarily for dry indoor conditions
  • Requires thorough surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion
  • Not suitable for surfaces heavily contaminated with oils or loose rust

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is completely dry and clean. Remove all dust, grease, and loose rust using a wire brush or degreaser to guarantee the paint bonds correctly to the metal. If the surface was previously treated with anti-corrosion zinc paint, this product will adhere well as a top coat or refresher. Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the aerosol propellant. Always shake the container thoroughly before use to ensure the zinc and aluminium particles are evenly distributed within the suspension.
