FAQs
What is Cold Galvanising Paint used for?
It is used to provide excellent corrosion resistance and a protective zinc coating on metal surfaces, particularly after cutting, welding, grinding, or drilling.
Can this paint be used on surfaces other than metal?
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces. Adhesion and performance on non-metal materials are not guaranteed.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results and maximum protection, applying two to three thin, even coats is generally recommended. Always allow adequate drying time between coats as per the product instructions.
What is the drying time?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch-dry within 15-20 minutes and ready for recoating after 1-2 hours. Refer to the product label for specific times.
Can I paint over this product?
Yes, TIMCO Cold Galvanising Paint can be used as a primer and is compatible with most paint systems as a topcoat. However, it's always advisable to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How should I store the can after use?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and keep out of reach of children.
Does this product contain actual zinc?
Yes, it is a premium quality zinc spray, meaning it contains a high percentage of zinc to provide sacrificial protection to the underlying metal.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Ensure the can has been shaken sufficiently for at least two minutes. Check that the nozzle is not blocked; if it is, clear it by spraying upside down for a few seconds. Ensure the temperature is within the recommended application range.
Poor adhesion or coating failure
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it is completely clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, or old paint. Re-clean and reapply the product.
Paint runs or drips
Applying the paint too thickly or from too close a distance can cause runs. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between them, and maintain the recommended spray distance.
