How much area does one 750ml tin cover?
A 750ml tin covers up to 5 square meters on average.
Can I apply this over non-metal surfaces?

Troubleshooting
Paint is sagging or running
You are likely applying too much paint at once. Apply thinner coats and ensure even coverage without over-applying.
Reaction occurring on existing paint
If the test patch reacts (e.g., bubbles or lifts), you must strip the old paint completely before applying Hammerite.
Slow drying time
Ensure the application temperature is within the recommended 8°C to 25°C range and that humidity is low.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all dirt, dust, and grease are removed using a diluted detergent and that the surface is completely dry. For non-ferrous metals like zinc or aluminum, use a specialized primer before applying Hammerite.
During application, stir the paint lightly rather than shaking it vigorously to maintain the consistency of the hammered effect. After finishing, clean your brushes using dedicated Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Always store the tin in a cool place, tightly closed, and keep it away from open flames or high heat sources as it contains flammable components.
