What to know before buying
- Use at 15 to 25 °C in a well-ventilated area. The instructions advise avoiding fumes during curing and say coated smaller domestic items must not be used before curing.
- The instructions recommend removing rust and loose material, wiping the surface, and applying a light mist coat from 15–30 cm before a further coat. They also warn that sudden high heat can destroy the coating.
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the product is described as silver-grey metallic, while customer feedback reports that the colour does not look silver as expected. The listing also describes a metallic finish but the range description says matt finishes, and the listed drying time of 1.0 and full cure time of 24 Hours do not explain the stated 15–30 minute between-coat wait. Customer feedback is mixed on finish adhesion. Confirm the exact colour and follow the product's preparation and curing directions before use.
