Painting Hammerite onto
a painted surface
Paint a small test patch of Hammerite Paint onto
the painted surface and leave it to dry for an hour. If you
notice any defects to the painted surface under the test patch,
remove all the paint from surface with Hammerite Paint Remover,
before painting the surface with Hammerite Paint.
Avoiding paint sagging
Apply several thin coats. If applying to a smooth
vertical metal surface, abrade the surface with a side to
side action using a coarse sandpaper.
Painting directly onto
a rusty metal surface
Hammerite Paint is specially formulated to be
applied directly onto rusty metal with minimal surface preparation.
Simply remove any loose rust with a wire brush or coarse sandpaper
and clean the surface with Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners
and allow time to dry. Then apply Hammerite Paint directly
onto the rusty metal surface. No primer, no undercoat needed.
Mixing different colours of Hammerite Paint
Mixing Hammerite Paints is not recommended.
Mixing Hammerite Paint
with other types of paint
Hammerite Paints cannot be mixed with any other
type of paint.
Painting in coastal areas
Remove all salt from the metal surface, before
painting, by thoroughly washing the surface with clean water
and allow time to dry before applying Hammerite Paint for
Rusty Metal. For added protection use Hammerite No.1 Rust
Beater before applying Hammerite Paint.
Painting on heavily rusted
metal surfaces
Remove all loose rust with a wire brush or coarse
sandpaper and then clean the surface with Hammerite Brush
Cleaner & Thinners. For best results apply Hammerite No.1
Rust Beater before painting with Hammerite Paint.
To ensure consistent colour
Stir the Hammerite Paint thoroughly before use
and occasionally whilst painting.
Painting very rough iron
surfaces
For best results and to provide longer lasting
protection apply Hammerite No.1 Rust Beater to the surface
before painting with Hammerite Paint.
Re-using Hammerite Paint
Hammerite Paint can be re-used up to 2 years
after first opening the tin. If you wish to keep the paint
that you have not used, then replace the original lid firmly
back on the Hammerite can and store in a dry well ventilated
area away from a heat source.
