Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is designed exclusively for exterior use.

Do I need to sand the metal first?

You should abrade smooth surfaces to provide a key for the paint, and use a wire brush to remove any loose rust or flaking paint.

How many coats should I apply?

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

How do I clean my brushes?

Use Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners immediately after use. Regular water will not clean solvent-based paint.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is typically touch-dry within 1 to 2 hours and can be recoated after 4 hours.

Is this suitable for galvanised surfaces?

Yes, but you must apply a Hammerite Special Metals Primer before applying the Hammered finish paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sagging or running

You have likely applied the paint too thickly. Use lighter, thinner coats and avoid over-brushing the same area.

Reaction or bubbling on existing paint

The test patch indicated an incompatibility. You must strip the old paint entirely before applying Hammerite.

Drowsiness or dizziness during application

The product is solvent-based. Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated outdoor space and take breaks for fresh air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust protection for up to 8 years
  • Versatile all-in-one primer and topcoat
  • Attractive, professional hammered texture
  • High-quality weather resistance for outdoor use

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor use
  • Requires specific brush cleaners for maintenance
  • Strong odor due to solvent-based composition

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the ambient temperature is between 8°C and 25°C. For preparation, abrade smooth surfaces and remove loose rust. Always perform a test patch on existing paintwork for one hour to ensure no adverse chemical reaction occurs. On non-ferrous metals like zinc, aluminium, or galvanised steel, you must apply a specialized metal primer first. After painting, clean your brushes immediately using dedicated brush cleaners, as standard soap and water will not be effective.
