Also suitable for use on wood, Hammershield Paint is ideal for garden furniture, gates, railings, garage doors and more. Works just as well as a quick way to spruce up garden pots, ornaments and play equipment.
Palatine Hammershield Paint provides a tough decorative coating. While ideal as top coat, this metal paint can be used with Fast Dry Metal Primer for ultimate rust protection.

If rust is a particular issue, we recommend applying a rust convertor then coating with Hammershield.

Preparation
Surface Condition: This is a Direct to Metal paint. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose rust, scale, grease, and other contaminants.
Rust Treatment: If the metal is heavily rusted, it is highly recommended to apply a rust converter before painting with Hammershield.
Priming:
* General: Priming is not strictly required unless the surface is in poor condition or superior rust inhibition is needed.
* Compatibility Warning: This product is not compatible for use over Carboxide primers. It should only be used over Palatine Fast Dry Metal Primer if a primer is used.
Previously Painted Surfaces: For previously painted metal or wood, light sanding is recommended to create a “key” for the new paint.
Testing: Perform a test patch (approx. 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility and color satisfaction.
Application
Environmental Conditions: Do not apply when the ambient temperature is below 10°C. Optimal results are achieved in warm, dry conditions.
Methods: Suitable for application by brush or spray.
Coats: The fast-drying formula allows for multiple coats to be applied in a single day.
Post-Application: Keep the coated area dry for at least 24 hours after application.
