Stops Rust
®
Hammered Metal Finish provides
long-lasting protection that seals out moisture and protects the
underlying surface against corrosion. The unique hammered
texture covers imperfect surfaces, eliminating the need to sand to
bare metal or prime. The hammered finish is ideal for weathered
and sound rusted metal. It decorates and protects metal, wood,
concrete, stone, and more. Not for use on galvanized steel.

..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 60-90°F (15-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to
ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces that will
exceed 200°F (93°C). Do not use on galvanized steel.
SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and
chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a
commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All
surfaces must be dry at time of application.
STEEL: Scrape and wire brush or power tool clean to
remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated previous
coatings. Use 7769 Rusty Primer for sound rusted or clean
metal before application of a finish coat. 7780 White Clean
Primer is best for clean metal but may be used on sound
rusted metal as well.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
PREVIOUSLY COATED: Previously coated surfaces must
be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy
finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface
profile. The Stops Rust

Hammered Enamels are
compatible with most coatings, but a test patch is
suggested. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old
paint from any surface, you may release lead paint dust.
LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE;
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-
424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
APPLICATION
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment
is re-dispersed. If necessary, thin the material with xylene.
For brush or roller, thinning is not normally required. For
air spray, thin up to 15% with xylene. Do not thin with
gasoline, lacquer thinner, turpentine, etc. For airless spray,
thinning is not normally required. Apply with a good quality
brush, roller or spray gun.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures and
higher humidity. Apply 2 coats for full coverage, best
appearance and maximum rust protection. Make sure that
corners, edges and heavily pitted areas are adequately
covered. Apply a second coat after the first coat is dry to
the touch (30 minutes). Second coat must be applied
within 4 hours or after 7 days. Dries to handle in 60-90
minutes and is fully dry in 24 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and tools with xylene.
