Coo-Var Hammercote Metal Paint Smooth Finish | Metal Coating

• Surface Prep: Remove rust, loose paint, and dirt; ensure the surface is dry and grease-free.
• Application: Stir thoroughly. Apply using a brush or spray—avoid overly thick coats for even drying.
• Drying/Curing: Follow guidelines in the TDS for best results; the coating may harden further over several days.
• Maintenance: Wipe gently with a soft cloth or mild detergent to keep the finish looking fresh.
• Pro Tip: For optimal results, consider a compatible primer on highly porous or previously unpainted surfaces, even though Hammercote often works well without one.
