Hi Could I use this on metal that is already powder coated? If so which primer would you recommend?

Assuming the powdercoat is a polyester, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we would recommend it is primed first with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion Primer .

I want to spray the engine bars bright red on my motorbike to add a little panache, would this paint be suitable?

Assuming the bars are steel, not exposed to temperatures over 100°C, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet it could be used. If the bars are bare steel we can recommend priming with Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2169/2182 Anti-Rust Primer , for other hard to adhere to surfaces such as stainless steel we can recommend Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2102 Adhesion Primer .

Hello - I have removed paint from old shutter hinges and the shutter bar back to cast iron. What would you recommend me to use? Hard hat or universal? Is a primer needed? Is a top coat needed? Thanks Nicola

Assuming you require something in aerosol form, we would suggest Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2169/2182 Anti-Rust Primer followed by Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat .

I have just painted a new hardwood door and frame with zinsser primer, and 2 coats of all coat satin. I dont like the roller finish and wood like to get it smoother. Can i over spray with aerosol. And do you make a satin finish

Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Aerosol Topcoats are not designed for this type of decorative application, are not available in satin and would not 'smooth' out brush/roller marks already in the existing paint.

are the high perf topcoats suitable for standard radiators?

Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoats are heat resistant up to 100°C (dry heat), above 65°C discoloration may occur.

Hi, I’m restoring a cider press whose paint has chips and cracks. Is this product food safe? Thanks.

Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat has not been tested for such use, as it is intended primarily as an industrial coating, it has not been submitted for such approval.

I have just purchased 10 external security lights which are in black aluminium. I would like to change the colour to match my sandstone walls. Will this paint bond and not peel off the aluminium lights? Will it be ok?

Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat will bond after thorough degrease / rinse / dry to leave a perfectly clean surface. Then apply Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2102 Adhesion Primer followed by Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat in required shade as per PDS info. No temperature duties above 80°C (slight discolouration may occur at prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40°C).

Are the Rust-oleum spray paints suitable for external garage doors? The corrugations make them hard to paint and I though a spray application would be easier and more effective

Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Paint would be better suited to this application.

I have a garden table and two chairs which are a bit rusty so I'm going to sand the metal and then would like to change their colour to your oyster white. Do I need a primer and is your paint finish gloss or Matt? Will it protect from corrosion?

After preparation of the table and chairs you should prime first with Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2169/2182 Anti-Rust Primer . Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat in RAL 1013 Oyster White is a gloss finish.

Can I use a clear coat on top of the Hard Hat Top Coat once it is dry ?

Yes, you could use Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2500 Transparent Protection .

Are Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoats acrylic based or synthetic oil based?

Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat aerosols are based on fast drying, short oil soya alkyd and use lead and chromate free pigments.

Hello Can you tell me if Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat would be suitable for a metal curtain pole?

Yes it would. If the curtain pole is already coated with something then lightly sand, clean and apply Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat. If the curtain pole is bare metal we would advise using Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion first to ensure good adhesion.
