Lowe Metal and Machinery Paint is specially formulated to provide long-lasting protection in an attractive range of colours for gates, railings, sheds, machinery and other metal surfaces. It acts as both a primer and topcoat and may be applied directly to rust. It binds to and neutralises the rust that is there and prevents any further corrosion. The second coat acts as a further barrier to inhibit further rusting. It may be used on old or new metal and requires little surface preparation other than the removal of any loose or flakey material. It gives an attractive low-gloss finish. It can be applied onto damp surfaces. It can also be used to protect and decorate most wooden surfaces
