Hammertone Finish

It is a decorative and protective industrial coating used on metal surfaces, machinery, and equipment to hide surface imperfections and give a textured, hammered look.

It is ideal for mild steel, iron gates, industrial machinery, electrical panels, and metal cabinets.

It must be applied using a spray gun; brushing or rolling will destroy the hammered pattern effect.

No, AngelCoat Hammertone is a single-pack (1K) air-drying paint, so no hardener is required.

You should strictly use high-quality AngelCoat Synthetic (Enamel) Thinner to maintain the pattern and ensure proper drying.

Thin the paint by adding 10% to 15% thinner; if you add too much thinner, the hammered pattern will not form correctly.

It becomes surface-dry (dust-free) in 30 to 45 minutes, but needs 12 to 24 hours to become completely hard.

Usually, one medium-to-heavy wet coat is enough to develop the hammered pattern, but you can apply a second coat if needed after 15 minutes.

The pattern fails if the paint is over-thinned, if the air pressure on the spray gun is too high, or if the coat is sprayed too thin.

Yes, while it is an air-drying paint, it can be stoved or baked at low temperatures (around 60°C - 80°C) to accelerate drying.

Yes, it provides excellent resistance to light rust, oil splashes, and grease, making it perfect for industrial machinery.

Yes, for maximum rust protection and adhesion, apply one coat of AngelCoat Red Oxide or Zinc Chromate metal primer first.
