Dirty Down Yellow Effect – 25ml
Apply yellow rust paint in the same way as our normal rust paint, by brush or airbrush/sprayer. Use on its own or with normal rust effect paint. A single coat of yellow rust is light yellow shade but the shade darkens as more coats are applied. If several coats are applied the colour darkens to a shade similar to that of normal Dirty Down rust effect paint.
Before use: Thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearing rattling and thoroughly stir inside the pot with an old brush until all the lumps are gone.
For best results the pot and the surface being painted should be at room temperature or a little warmer. The colour could dry dark if the surface is too hot or too cold. Tip: keep the pot in your pocket against your skin for an hour before use and shake regularly with the ball bearing rattling. Repeatedly stir and shake the pot until all lumps have gone. It is very difficult to remove the lumps if the liquid is cool or cold.
Usage Instructions:
- Always clean the brush in water or methylated spirit straight after use (not white spirit). Do not let the paint fully harden onto brush.
- The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot. Thoroughly shake with the ball bearing rattling and stir before each and every use.
- Use paint straight from the pot. Replace the lid quickly during use to prevent the liquid from evaporating. Evaporation with cause the liquid to thicken and the colour to darken.
- To lighten shade add a little water. Do not add water into the paint pot, it’s best tip a little paint into a separate pot and then add small amounts of water. Or to lighten the colour, apply paint to a surface with a damp/wet brush. Or, after painting dab the wet or dry paint with a wet brush.
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and grease free. Test the paint on hidden surfaces before use to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
- Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. The paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish.
- Our paint is water soluble and the effects of painting will be lost by washing in water or handling with wet hands. Do not expose paint to rain or splashing with water.
- Looks best when applied to a rough surface.
- To fill dents and grooves in surfaces, first cover the surface with paint, and then wipe the paint off the raised areas with a damp cloth (at an angle to the grooves), leaving some of the paint trapped. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed.
- When dry, avoid scuffing/scratching the finished paintwork.
