Description

Genuine Hammerite · Part no. 5362526

Safety: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Read the label before use.

The water-based version of Hammerite Direct to Rust in smooth black. It is low odour and low VOC, paints straight onto rusty steel, iron or non-ferrous metal without primer, and suits gates, railings, trailer parts and brackets where solvent smell is unwelcome.

Good to know

• How is it different from the original Hammerite Direct To Rust tins? This one is water based, with low VOCs and very little smell, washes up in water, and is rated by the maker for up to 12 years' protection.
• How much paint do I need? Coverage is 7.5 square metres per litre for each coat, so measure the area, divide by 7.5 and double the answer for the two recommended coats.
• Can I paint outside in cold or damp weather? Water-based paint dries slowly and can wash off if rain or frost hits it before it has dried, so pick a dry, mild day and start early.

Which one?
