FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this specific product is formulated for outdoor use only.

How many coats do I need?

On sound, previously painted metal, one coat is often sufficient. On bare or rusty metal, two coats are required.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch-dry in about 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 4 hours.

Do I need a separate primer?

Generally, no, as it is a 2-in-1 paint and primer. However, special metals like aluminium or zinc require a dedicated primer.

How should I clean my brushes?

Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to remove the paint effectively.

Is this paint safe around water?

It is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects; ensure you dispose of the container and any contents in accordance with local environmental regulations.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging on the surface

You may have applied the paint too thickly. Use thinner, even layers to prevent runs and sagging.

Poor adhesion on new surfaces

If applying to zinc, aluminium, or galvanised metal, ensure you have used a specialized primer first.

Inconsistent finish on old painted surfaces

Perform a test patch first. If the paint reacts with the old surface, the previous coating must be completely removed before applying Hammerite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the ambient temperature is between 8°C and 25°C. For best results, lightly stir the paint before use—avoid vigorous mixing to prevent bubbles. If you are working on non-ferrous surfaces like zinc, aluminium, or galvanised metal, you must first apply a dedicated metal primer to ensure adhesion.

After completing your project, remove as much excess paint from your brushes as possible. Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners to clean your equipment thoroughly. Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain product integrity for future touch-ups.
