Ronseal Direct to Metal Paint in Steel Grey Satin gives your metal surfaces a tough and durable finish. It offers up to 15 years of protection and doesn't need a primer, so you can apply it straight onto rust or bare metal. This makes it handy for jobs like gates, railings, and outdoor metal furniture.

Getting started is simple. For bare metal, remove any loose rust or paint with a wire brush or sandpaper, then wipe it clean. If there's old paint that's in good condition, a light sanding will do. Stir the paint well before using, and you can apply it with a brush, roller, or sprayer. It's low odour and becomes showerproof in just 30 minutes.

Usually, two coats will give you good coverage, but if the metal is rusty or you want extra durability, three coats are recommended. Allow 2 to 4 hours between coats. The 250ml tin covers about 1 square metre with two coats. To keep your metal looking its best, check for any cracks or scratches each year and touch up as needed.
