Application

Before application test Hammerite Smooth Direct to Rust Metal Paint onto the painted surfaces and leave for 1 hour. If there is no reaction continue to apply, if there is a reaction with the previous paint all paint must be removed before applying Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint.

• Do not apply in temperatures below 8°C or above 25°C.
• Lightly stir before use.
• Do not thin.
• On previously painted metal in a sound condition 1 coat should be sufficient.
• On bare or rusty metals 2 coats may be required.
