• Copper

• Brass

• Aluminium

• Similar surfaces

Pre-painted metal surfaces: 

• Scrape off all loose and flaking paint. 

• Sand all surfaces to a bright metal finish using P600 sandpaper and dust off. 

• DO NOT touch the sanded surface at any time from now until the coating step is completed, unless using a clean cotton cloth or wearing lint and acid free cotton gloves. 

Aluminium, copper, brass and other similar metals (including alloys when using the brush on pack only): 

• Remove stains, marks and imperfections with a metal polish and then wash the surface with mineral turpentine. 

• Once dry, apply Dulux Metalshield® Brass & Copper Clear Spray Paint in multiple light coats. 

• Do not handle surface prior to applying Dulux Metalshield® Brass & Copper Clear.

Before spraying: 

• Shake can well for one minute after the ball starts rattling and regularly during use. 

• Lower temperatures and high humidity will slow the drying and affect the gloss level. 

• Avoid spraying when air or surface temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C. 

During spraying: 

• Hold the can upright 10 to 25cm from the surface. 

• To ensure surface compatibility, test spray on inconspicuous area. 

• Spray with smooth even strokes, parallel to the surface. 

• Apply several light mist coats rather than one heavy coat, which can cause runs and sags.

After spraying: 

• Prevent blocking by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear gas emerges. 

• Also wipe front of nozzle clean. 

• Clean up overspray while it is still wet with mineral turpentine.

Storage 

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and and away from oxidising agents and corrosive materials. 

• Protect from sunlight. 

• Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition. 

• Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
