How to paint using Dulux Design Rust Effect

Carefully read and follow the instructions on the product label.

Surface must be clean, dry and free from dust, oils and grease.

Mask off the area with painter’s tape – where you don’t want any paint.

Stir the paint well with a paint stirrer using an up and down scooping action. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the can to ensure particles are evenly distributed.

Practice your application technique on a large, spare piece of board.

Brush around the edges of the wall.

Apply the first two coats of Dulux Rust Effect with a wide brush using random brush strokes. Allow 12 hours between coats.

After 12 hours, apply 2 coats of Dulux Rust Effect Solution over the dry Rust Effect with a wide brush in random brush strokes. Apply a light mist of water to aid the rusting process. Allow 8 hours between coats.

Rust residue may be rubbed off when touched.

Do not roll or spray.

On exterior surfaces the rust effect will continue to develop over time.

To avoid rub-off and run-off seal with one coat of Berger® Jet Dry® Stone & Paving Sealer in Natural finish mixed with water at a 1:1 ratio. Note that a clear coat will change the appearance of the rust effect.

Rust residue may be rubbed off when touched.
