IRON PAINT
An environmentally friendly Paint containing a high percentage of iron filings, which when overcoated with Earthcote Rusting Agent, corrodes creating a rusty rustic aged finish.
Recommended For
INTERIOR and EXTERIOR surfaces.
Commonly used on detailed cement plastered walls, pots, balustrades and light fittings. It is important to remember this pro duct is designed
to rust and just as metal rusts so too will Earthcote Iron Paint. It will not last forever, especially outside – it is designed to corrode and age.
Not Recommended For
Not to be applied to structural steel or to any surfaces where the continued rusting effect could affect the structure or run off from the rust will discolour or
stain adjoining surfaces.
Application
Prime all surfaces with respective primers (e.g. Midas Masonry Primer on masonry surfaces, Midas Metal Etch on ferrous and galvanised surfaces). Allow
to dry fully then apply one coat of Midafelt 225 tinted to a dark charcoal/black colour and allow to dry.
Thoroughly stir the Earthcote Iron Paint to ensure all the iron particles are in suspension and apply the first coat by brush in a criss -cross fashion at 4m²/litre.
Allow to dry for 4 hours and then apply the second coat in the same fashion. As the second coat starts drying, apply the Midas Rusting Agent by brush,
working from the top downwards onto the semi-dry Earthcote Iron Paint and work into the surface.
Sealing: We do not recommend sealing of Earthcote Iron Paint, as most sealers tend to negate its wonderful rusting effect and feel. However, if you want
to seal we recommend one or two coats of Midas Colour Retaining Primer. The use of incorrect sealers will turn your beautiful Earthcote Iron Paint to a dark
black colour.
PLEASE NOTE: Correct preparation is essential. All surfaces must be sound and prepared in the recommended manner. For more information on surface
preparation contact your nearest Paintsmiths store.
