Preparation
General: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, old coatings, and other contaminants.
Ferrous Metals: Suitable for direct application to carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and wrought iron.
Previous Coatings: * Rub down previously gloss-painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
* A test area on unknown previously painted surfaces must be carried out prior to full application.
Rust Removers: Avoid using phosphoric acid-based rust removers as they leave an insulating film. If used, the film must be removed before painting.
Non-Ferrous Metals: For aluminum or galvanized surfaces, use Palatine Fast Dry Etching Primer first.
Anti-Corrosive Boost: While self-priming, for maximum protection, apply over Palatine Fast Dry Metal Primer.
Mixing
Application
Stirring: Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer or a wooden baton (at least 25mm wide).
Method:
* Spray: Ideal for airless or conventional spray. Dilute by no more than 10% with Palatine Multi-Purpose Thinners.
* Roller: Use a nylon, solvent-resistant roller.
* Brush: Recommended for small areas only; apply with rapid strokes.
Conditions: Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C) and dry conditions. Do not apply if the temperature is below 10°C.

Q: What is Fast Dry Semi-Gloss Paint used for?
A: It’s a quick-drying, solvent-borne industrial top coat that gives a tough, rust-inhibiting, semi-gloss decorative finish. It’s ideal for steelwork, railings, skips, containers, and agricultural plant/machinery.
Q: Do I need a primer, or is it self-priming?
A: It’s self-priming and can be used as a direct-to-metal coating. For extra anti-corrosive protection, overcoat Palatine Fast Dry Metal Primer first.
Q: What surfaces can it go on?
A: It’s designed for long-term protection on substrates such as carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, wrought iron, and wood (with correct preparation).
Q: How fast does it dry and when can I recoat?
A: Typical drying times are surface dry in 15 minutes and recoatable after 1 hour. Keep coated areas dry for at least 24 hours after application. Drying will be slower in colder conditions—don’t apply below 10°C.
Q: What happens if I use standard White Spirit instead of Multi-Purpose Thinners?
A: This is a common mistake. Standard white spirit is a “weaker” solvent. Using it with this fast-dry industrial paint can cause the paint to “curdle” in the tin or result in a finish that stays soft or tacky for days. Always stick to the recommended Palatine Multi-Purpose Thinners.
