Up to approximately 5m2 per litre, per coat, depending upon the nature and absorbency of the surface being painted. 

Paint must be stirred well before use and applied using a brush or roller. If using more than one can of colour in the same area, mix the cans before use. Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or in damp conditions.

Can be applied direct to rust.

• Remove all loose rust and flaking paint from the metal using a wire brush.
• If the metal was already painted, wash down thoroughly with diluted detergent, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
• To ensure compatibility, apply a small test patch of Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint to the painted surface. Any reaction will occur within an hour. If a reaction is evident, remove all paint then wash down with degreaser.
• Rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
• If the objects are made from bare zinc, aluminium or galvanized metal use Hammerite Ultima Matt.
• For smooth metal surfaces, lightly abrade for maximum adhesion.
• Cover the surface beneath the metal object with thick newspaper or a dust sheet to catch any spills or drips.
• Stir the paint thoroughly before use, and apply with a good quality brush. A narrow brush is best for use on railings. A broad is best for use on bigger metal object, like a garden table.
• Apply two thin coats of Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint for the best results, leaving to dry in between as per instructions on back of pack.

Immediately after use, clean equipment with good quality brush cleaner such as Hammerite Brush Cleaner and Thinners.
