HAMMERITE RUST CAP HAMMERED ENAMEL FINISH is a self-priming, rust preventive coating designed to provide long-lasting metal protection. It provides a decorative finish that resists corrosion and the damaging effects from moisture and severe weather. Formulated for interior and exterior use. * For use on metal substrates. * Can be applied directly over firm, rusty surfaces. * For previously painted surfaces, apply HAMMERITE® RUST CAP® HAMMERED ENAMEL FINISH to a small area first to check adhesion and test for lifting or cracking.
Clean Up & Disposal
Surface Preparation
- Prepare surface by removing dirt, grease, wax, moisture, rust, loose paint and any other contamination that can affect the coating's adhesion. If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or TSP substitute. Rinse well and allow to dry.
- Scrape off loose paint and rust with a wire brush.
- Scuff sand rusted, glossy or hard surfaces.
- Eye protection is recommended.
- Do not thin.
- Use in a well-ventilated area when temperature is between 60°F and 80°F and humidity is below 60% to ensure proper drying.
- Mix paint thoroughly before and during application.
- Always maintain a wet edge, but avoid over-brushing and/or rolling.
- Apply 2 or more coats as needed to achieve the 4 mil dry film thickness.
- Recoat after the first coat has dried to the touch (30-45 minutes).
- Use a high quality ¼” nap Mohair cover on smooth surfaces. A quality synthetic bristle brush can also be used.
- Airless Spray: Use .017-.021 tip size at approximately 1800-2600 psi
- Conventional Spray: Use 70-80 thousandths tip size, pot pressure 15-20 psi and atomizing pressure 25-35 psi.
- Each additional coat must be applied within 4 hours or after 14 days of drying.
- Dries to the touch in 90 minutes.
- Coverage is approximately 200 sq. ft. per gallon depending on the method of application, porosity and texture of the surface (to achieve a 4 mil dry film thickness).
