Preparation
Surface Condition: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry. Remove all dust, oil, grease, and any loose or flaking material.
Cleaning: Thoroughly wash down the cladding to remove atmospheric salts or pollutants, which are common on exterior metal surfaces.
Rust Treatment: Any rusted areas should be wire-brushed back to a clean, bright metal finish. Prime these areas with an appropriate anti-corrosive primer, such as Palatine Fast Dry Metal Primer, before applying the topcoat.
Non-Ferrous Metals: For new galvanised steel or aluminium, pre-treat with Palatine Mordant Solution (T-Wash) or a suitable etching primer to ensure adhesion.
Existing Coatings: Lightly abrade (sand) any existing sound coatings to create a “key.” If the previous coating is unknown, perform a test patch (approx. 100mm x 100mm) to check for compatibility and to ensure the paint does not “lift” the old surface.
Testing: Confirm colour satisfaction by testing a small area before full-scale application.
Application
Mixing: Stir thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes before use. A drill stirrer is recommended to ensure the pigments are fully dispersed for a uniform satin finish.
Method: This product is specifically formulated for spray application (airless or conventional).
Thinning: Dilute the paint by approximately 10% by volume using Palatine Multi-Purpose Thinners to achieve the correct viscosity for spraying.
Note: Do NOT use White Spirit, as it is incompatible with this fast-drying formula.
Technique: Apply in thin, even passes. Avoid over-applying in a single coat to prevent runs or sagging on vertical cladding profiles.
Conditions: Apply in dry, warm conditions (minimum 10°C). Do not apply if the temperature is likely to fall below 10°C or if rain is imminent during the application and initial drying phase.
Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.
Q: What is Metal Cladding Paint (fast drying) for spray application?
A: A fast-drying gloss coating specially formulated for spray application on exterior metal cladding. It provides long-term protection with excellent weather resistance, leaving a smooth, professional finish.
Q: Where can I use it?
A: Ideal for a wide range of external building cladding, including roof cladding, metal cladding panels, and steel cladding—especially useful on buildings with hard-to-reach areas, nooks and crannies.
Q: Do I need a primer (and what about non-ferrous metals)?
A: For best durability, Palatine recommends applying the Fast Drying Metal Primer for a harder-wearing, longer-lasting finish. For non-ferrous metals, use Etching Primer. Always test a small area first on unknown existing coatings.
Q: What if I am painting non-ferrous metals?
A: For non-ferrous metals (like aluminium or galvanised steel), you should use Etching Primer to ensure proper adhesion.
Q: What are the application requirements for spraying?
A: For airless or conventional spray, a dilution ratio of no more than 10% by volume is recommended. You must use Palatine Multi Purpose Thinners for this.
