Hammerite Rust Cap Hammered Enamel Finish Gallon Mid Green

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.

Surface Preparation

• Scrape off loose paint and rust with a wire brush.
• Scuff sand rusted, glossy or hard surfaces.
