Ronseal 15 Year Protection Direct To Metal Paint

Provides a tough and durable finish for your metal.  This paint is water based with no priming necessary and minimal preparation required, making this the perfect answer for your outdoor or indoor needs.

Compatible surfaces are interior & exterior bare metal, cast iron, galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel, wood & PVC

To apply, firstly make sure to choose a dry day when rain is not expected and the temperature is above 10°C.  Prepare bare metal by removing any loose rust with a wire brush or 120 grit abrasive paper.  If the metal has been previously painted, then any flaking paint or rust should be removed in the same way.  Paint that is in good condition should be lightly sanded with 240 grit paper to provide a key.  Once this is done, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to make sure the surface is clean and free from grease and allow to dry.

Take care when preparing any older areas that may have been painted before 1960 as lead paint may have been used.

Stir the paint thoroughly for 2-3 minutes and apply with a brush or roller.  2 coats will be enough for a smooth surface but a third coat will give maximum durability, especially when going onto a rusty surface.  This paint can be sprayed, just dilute with 10% water or to the sprayer manufacturer's specifications.

To maintain, check annually for imperfections.  If you find any cracks, blisters or scratches then sand off any loose paint and touch up the affected area with two fresh coats.
