DESCRIPTION:

ONE STEP FINISH – PAINT RIGHT OVER RUST
HAMMERITE is a self-priming quick-dry gloss paint coating.
HAMMERITE is designed for use on rusty metal and most other metal surfaces, without the need of a primer.

GLASSGUARD PROTECTION: As the HAMMERITE coating dries, millions of heat-hardened glass flakes interlock with the special resins forming a super-tough barrier that seals out moisture to prevent rusting.

The Quick dry Hammered Metal Finish has two different silicones with Aluminum and glass beads that give the “Hammered” effect.

RECOMMENDED USES:
HAMMERITE is a long-lasting coating that can be applied directly over a firm, rusty surface. Aluminum, galvanized and zinc sprayed surfaces require a prime coating of HAMMERITE GALVANIZED AND ALUMINUM PRIMER. HAMMERITE Galvanized and Aluminum Primer dries to touch in 1-2 hours @ 60ºF (16ºC). Allow primer to dry 24 hours before applying finish coat. HAMMERITE aesthetic value and rust protection properties make a durable coating for exterior applications on residential and commercial projects. Some suggested uses are:
1. Exterior doors, mail boxes, wrought iron, ventilation pipes/fittings. Wheel barrows, swing sets, snow blowers, lawn mowers, fences, storage sheds, etc
2. Playground equipment, recreation vehicles, boat trailers, etc.
3. Architectural structures, tank farms, machinery, theme parks, transportation equipment, above water marine applications, etc.
4. Frames, wheels, bumpers, trailer hitches, under car and truck carriages, trunk areas, floor trays, etc.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
Remove all loose rust, paint and millscale. This can be achieved by scraping, sanding or wire brushing. Remove all dirt, oil, grease, salt contamination from ocean or street salt, and mildew, using an approved cleaner, fresh water and a commercial mildew remover. Rinse surface thoroughly and let dry before continuing. Smooth or hard, slick surfaces must be deglossed or abraded by sanding or grit blasting. A new or clean metal surface that is very smooth and/or glossy, or non-porous MUST be sanded with a minimum 80 grit sandpaper. DO NOT use any rust converter, or any other acid or conversion type product to clean or prepare a rusted surface before applying a Hammerite coating. Aluminum and galvanized surfaces require a prime coating of HAMMERITE Galvanized and Aluminum Primer. Professional painting practice required previously painted or shop primed surfaces must be "patch" tested for compatibility. Apply HAMMERITE to a small area and expose for 72 hours minimum and check for adhesion and any signs of lifting or cracking, etc.

AEROSOL CONTAINERS:
Read and follow all application and precautionary information. Shake can for two or three minutes after activating ball and occasionally during use. Spray light, even coats, holding the container upright approximately 8” to 12” from surface being painted. The aerosol Hammered Metallic Finish is not as pronounced as the paint from the quart and/or gallon containers. This is due to the thinning of the product so the propellant will push it out through the siphon tube and spray tip orifice. Three to five coats will be required to eliminate any pinholes and thin spots to achieve the 4 mil dry thickness required to keep moisture from penetrating the coating. The final coating must be thick enough to flow to a smooth even finish with a well-defined pattern, but not heavy enough to run. Make sure all corners, edges and heavily pitted areas are adequately coated. All coatings can be applied as soon as the previous coating is dry to touch, about 15 minutes. All coatings must be applied within one hour or after 10 days cure time. After use, invert container (turn upside down) and spray to clear valve of the paint coating.

For printing reasons, the color shown on the front of the container and/or color card may not exactly match the color of the paint.
