Direct to Galvanised Metal Paint
Preparation
- Abrade Aluminium, Copper and Brass to improve adhesion.
- On aged, dull galvanised surfaces spot prime any corroded or oxidised areas where the galvanise has broken down with Hammerite No1 Rustbeater.
- On new, bright, galvanised surfaces, leave to weather for a number of months until duller and coarser before application of Hammerite Direct to Galvanised Metal Paint.
- For maximum protection and a longer lasting finish, apply 1 coat of Hammerite Special Metals Primer first.
- Where the surface has been previously painted, it is recommended that a small test area is applied. Leave for 1 hour. If there is a reaction remove all paint before applying Hammerite Direct to Galvanised Metal Paint.
Special precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust during surface preparation of pre-1960's paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead.
