Product Information

Preparing the surface is key to achieving satisfactory results. For a good paint grip, the surface has to be cleaned and degreased. Remove all stains, old flaking paint, grease, oil, and rust from the surface. This is important even when the product claims to do the job when painted onto rust. Closely follow the instructions to apply the paint stripper, leave it to work for the specified time, then scrape off the paint using a scraper. You may need more than one application, and may need to use a stiff brush to get into the details.

The primer paints used are RAL 7024 dark grey in colour and have been specially formulated to create a barrier to corrosion. The primer can be over coated with epoxy, polyurethane or acrylic paints.Best Wood Burning Stove Paint – Overall, the Everbuild Heat Resistant Paint is the best choice overall for a wood burning stove paint.

Limit indoor application, use a protective mask and keep windows open during the application process. It if there are only small areas of flaking paint, it is not worth removing all of the paint on garden furniture before applying a new coat.

This work can be done with a chemical paint stripper. A hot air gun can be used, but older paint may contain lead. If working with a removable item such as a gate, you could take it to an industrial stripping company.
