ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

Description

Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane

Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane is a single pack high performance, anti-corrosion topcoat for metal. Ideal for low temperatures (as low as 5°C) it offers the same protection in less layers than other alkyd-systems.

Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane is ideal for use on metal surfaces primed with Rust-Oleum primers such as Rust-Oleum 769 Damp-Proof Primer, Rust-Oleum 569 Quick Drying Primer, Rust-Oleum 580 Quick Drying Primer, Rust-Oleum 1060 High Build Primer, Rust-Oleum 1080 High Build Primer and Rust-Oleum 3202 Galvinoleum Primer. Applied on old intact coatings or well primed surfaces, Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane offers a long-lasting industrial-duty protection. For metal constructions in very aggressive environments we advise to use an additional coat of Rust-Oleum Primer or Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane.

Adey on 2022-05-23 12:22:45	Question: Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane Can this be used with a sprayer? If so would it need to be thinned?
	Answer: Yes the product can be applied by brush, roller or spray. For airless spray application this can be thinned upto 20% with Rust-Oleum Thinner 641. For air atomised spray application this can be thinned 10 to 30% with Rust-Oleum Thinner 641.

Helen Lea Wright on 2022-03-06 13:49:40	Question: Can I paint shower floor tiles with this product?
	Answer: Unfortunately no, this product is not suitable for this application. Assuming the tiles are glazed, clean ,dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment followed by Smartkote Safekote. This is a bare foot friendly anti-slip coating available in clear or range of colours in a gloss finish.

Peter Concannon on 2019-09-03 12:50:33	Question: IS YOUR PRODUCT SUITABLE TO APPLY ON NEW GALVANISED SURFACE OR WHAT PRIMER WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
	Answer: Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by cleaning in combination with Rust-Oleum Mathys ND14 Cleaner Degreaser. Remove salts, 'white rust', etc., by washing with Rust-Oleum Mathys 108 Surfa Etch Solution. Then prime with Rust-Oleum 3202 Galvinoleum Primer before finishing with Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane.

Sue on 2019-06-18 14:46:13	Question: Which is more hard wearing, CombiColor or Alkythane? Any other differences to consider? I'm looking at hard wearing paint for a narrowboat where ropes will slide along the roof edge, not to mention scrapes when mooring, etc. Thanks
	Answer: Rust-Oleum CombiColor and Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane would have similar performance in this situation, if you wish to consider something harder wearing you would need to look at Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane or Rust-Oleum 9600 Rust-O-Thane Polyurethane.

Peter Davies on 2019-05-17 14:14:05	Question: When applying rust oleum 7500 over an existing unidentified coating, do I need a primer. the existing surface is sound but has been hand painted a long time ago and will need abrading in places to remove runs.
	Answer: The data sheet states the following preparation; Remove oil, grease and all other contamination by alkaline or high pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. Remove rust scale, loose mill scale, loose rust and loose coatings by scraping and wire brushing to St 2/3 (ISO 8501-1 : 1988), blast cleaning to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1 : 1988) or sanding, followed by priming with the recommended Rust-Oleum Primers. Sand previous coatings in good condition to provide a key for adhesion and check compatibility. The surface must be clean and dry during application.

Davey Chambers on 2019-05-02 09:15:50	Question: Can you provide pan-tone reference numbers for your paint colours? Digital display resolutions between different devices won't provide an accurate representation of the actual product. I can see about 6 different greys that all display the same. Thanks Davey
	Answer: You are correct that colours can vary screen to screen due to resolution settings and monitor quality. We pressume you have a physical Pantone colour chart which is why you want to go by these references but unfortunately RAL and BS colours do not directly corrolate with Pantone shades. We can produce Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane in nearly any RAL, BS, NCS, and many other paint colour ranges so we would suggest posting you a colour chart if you can provide an address to our sales team.

Mutaviri on 2018-12-06 23:56:54	Question: Where to buy *10litres of white paint rust-oleum 569. How much 10litres How 5litres thinners
