Apply rust paint by brush or airbrush/sprayer. Rust effect paint looks best when applied to rough, textured surfaces. Simulate atmospheric oxidisation of aged metals effortlessly. Water soluble to easily tone back effects for the perfect result. Usage Instructions: The pot and surface should be at room temperature or warmer before use. The rust colour may not appear if the pot and/or the surface are very cold. The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot. It’s very important to thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearings rattling before each and every use. Thoroughly stir the mixture and ensure that solids on the bottom of the pot are fully mixed into the liquid. Repeat stirring and shaking until all lumps have gone. It’s much better to shake and stir rust paint when the pot is at room temperature or warmer. If the pot is cold it may not be possible to fully mix any solids into the liquid. Use rust paint straight from the pot. Replace the lid quickly during use to prevent the liquid from evaporating or decant what you need to use for a job into a separate smaller pot/container with a lid. Do not add water into the paint pot – this may prevent the colour from forming. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and grease free. Test the paint on hidden surfaces before use to ensure compatibility and adhesion. Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. Rust paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish. Rust paint is water soluble and the effects of painting will be lost by washing in water or by getting wet, but there may still be staining. Do not expose rust paint to rain or splashing with water. Rust paint looks best when applied to a rough surface. To fill dents and grooves in surfaces, first cover the surface with rust paint, and then wipe the paint off the raised areas with a damp cloth (at an angle to the grooves), leaving some of the paint trapped. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. When fully dry, rust paint can be made more permanent by spraying with fine/mist coats of acrylic varnish/lacquer. Test varnish first because types of varnish change the colour/shade of the paint. When dry, avoid scuffing/scratching the finished paintwork. For the best results it’s best to practise different techniques listed below before final use. Show more
