Questions
Question about the product
Guy Hockley on 2024-11-06 15:32:28 | Question:
Which paints do you recommend for painting an old galvanized water tub ? Any primers required ? Tub is old but clean and rust free. Tub must be able to withstand being lefty outside year round. Colours cblack or anthracite grey. Finish in satin, matt or gloss (if black). Thank you |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming you are painting the external areas of the galvanised tub, it is bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet you could consider Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion Primer, followed by two coats of CombiColor Original. This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a satin or gloss finish. | |
Thomas Ennels on 2024-09-30 18:05:35 | Question:
Hi, I am looking to paint my go kart frame with this paint, would it be suitable. It would get wet and would need to be jet washed. The frame is steel and there is some fibreglass panels. I understand that this doesn't work on fibreglass but if I used a primer underneath would it work? Also does it work in a paint gun best or a brush? Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately no this product cannot be used on fibreglass. For this application assuming the steel is bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet you could consider Teamac Rapidry HB Zinc Phosphate Primer followed by two coats of Coo-Var Hammercote Smooth Finish. This can also be used on the prepared fibreglass without the need for the primer. This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a gloss finish. | |
Stewart on 2024-09-23 13:23:43 | Question:
Hi, I have to paint some galvanised railings, will this take straight into galvanised metal or will I need to prime first, if so what primer, & will stick to the metal Thank you Stewart |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the galvanised steel is bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet it should be primed first with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion Primer. | |
Arthur on 2024-08-07 16:51:56 | Question:
I have a newly constructed mild steel fence. Is this paint suitable? Do I need a primer? What should be done to the metal prior to painting? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the steel is bare, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, you could consider Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion followed by 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original. This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a satin or gloss finish. | |
Bob on 2024-07-26 14:40:38 | Question:
Can this be used direct to bare aluminium on a garage door, for example? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original can be applied to suitably prepared and primed Aluminium surfaces, after a first coat of Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion Primer, ensuring the adhesion is improved for this product to adhere to. 2 coats in your choice of many RAL, BS & NCS Colours are recommended. | |
Paul on 2024-07-07 20:37:24 | Question:
we have a steel lintel above 2 of our windows which we would like to protect. will the combi colour rustoleum be sufficient? If not, please advise. thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the steel is previously coated, is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the techncial datasheet, 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original in your choice of many RAL, BS & NCS Colours to a Gloss, Satin or Matt finish can be applied, we'd recommend to apply on a small test area to check for compatibility and adhesion, prior to full application. If the steel is previously bare and un-primed, we'd recommend a first coat of Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion to prime the steel prior to application. | |
Peter on 2024-06-20 07:28:09 | Question:
Want to paint the interior steelwork of a campervan. This surface is already painted with the van manufacturer paint finish. Is this paint suitable, or can you recommend another paint That's |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Although not developed for use as an Automotive paint finish, assuming the previously painted bodywork or steelwork is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, you could consider using Rust-Oleum Combicolor Original, however it is recommended to apply to a small test area firstly, checking for compatibility and adhesion with any existing coatings previously applied. | |
Scott Quinn on 2024-01-30 21:35:29 | Question:
Hi, I have a 2k epoxy primed fiberglass kit car body is the Rustoleum Combi paint suitable for this substrate? Also can the Rustoleum Combi paint once cured be sanded cut and buffed? Thanks. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately no, but assuming the fibreglass to be painted is not a roof, subject to traffic or submerged in water you could consider Rust-Oleum CombiColor Multi-Surface. This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a gloss finish. After sufficient curing this product can be lightly sanded if required. However, please note this product is designed as an industiral paint, not an automotive paint. | |
Steve Dent on 2023-10-08 09:24:16 | Question:
Can I use a black version of this on top of a red oxide primer? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product can be applied over most red oxide primers such as Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion assuming the area is clean, dry and sound. We would recommend to test on a small area for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application. | |
Bill on 2023-08-09 12:00:01 | Question:
Is rustoleum combicolor suitable for an outside metal ballustrade. It gets full sun, so the metal gets hot and high exposure to uv light |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes assuming the metal ballustrade is previously painted, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this could be used, two coats would be required. We would recommend to test on a small area for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application. If the ballustrade is bare steel it would need to be primed first with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion. If it is bare galvanised steel or aluminium it would need to be primed with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion Primer, This can be mixed to many RAL, BS or NCS colours in a satin or gloss finish. | |
Christian on 2023-08-06 11:59:52 | Question:
Hello. Can I apply Rustoleum over zinc primer ( galvafroid ) Thank you |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Fosroc Galvafroid may be overcoated for general purposes with a good oil bound or alkyd paint being used. Fosroc Dekguard A Plus can be used to provide a decorative finish to galvafroid with a 2 coat application recommended. Assuming Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original is the product you're referring to, you would need to apply a small test area to check for compatibility and adhesion with the galvafroid. | |
John on 2023-07-25 14:45:38 | Question:
What products are best to use for the aftercare of combi color when applied to a vehicle? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product is an industrial paint not an automotive paint, therefore we don't have specific aftercare instructions when using, other than how you'd normally maintain the vehicle, such as regular washing and possible waxing. | |
Lee on 2023-06-09 10:58:10 | Question:
Hi, I've been using this product to paint supsension items on cars, etc. I've been thinking, could I use this on the actual car body as a 'ground coat'? When it's fully cured, sand/prep and then overcoat with a traditional basecoat/2k automotive paint? Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product has not been tested for this application or for compatibility with automotive paint systems. We would recommend to consult the technical data sheets for the automtive paint systems you wish to apply to ascertain if this is suitable or if an automotive 2k primer should be used. | |
Adrian howourth on 2023-05-19 11:26:07 | Question:

Mr bird on 2023-05-11 07:40:22 | Question:
Morning,I want to paint my gym power rack(steel frame)is this the right paint (tough, scratch resistant)??,cheers |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the steel frame is bare, it should be prepared then primed first with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion. Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original does remains flexible and does not become brittle or flake with movement, but as with any paint coating they can be scratched. | |

Nick Kemp on 2022-03-10 12:49:53 | Question:
i have got to recoat some dock levellers for a client, they are already yellow would i be able to paint straight over, not sure what paint was used before, and can i use it on metal as well as power floated concrete floors. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately this paint is not suitable for application to concrete floors or any area subject to foot or vehicle traffic. For any other previously painted area we would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application. Regarding application to bare prepared metals that are not subject to vehicle or foot traffic, assuming the substrate is steel Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosionshould be used prior to application. For galvanised steel,aluminium or stainless steel Rust-Oleum 3202 Galvinoleum Primer should be used. | |
Anne Hatt on 2022-02-03 10:31:45 | Question:
Hi I would like to paint a metal container that I have just brought to use as a garden room. It has a combination of painted surfaces and rust patches. I would like to use a paint to help weatherproof and protect the exterior metal and hide all the rusted areas so it looks good. The container measures 20ft x 8ft and I would need to paint the top and both sides but not the 2 ends. Please can you advise me on the best paint to buy and also how much I would need for this please. Many thanks, Anne |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Prior to application of any paint to the steel container all rust should be removed, it must be clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheets. For the roof area would recommend Rust-Oleum Mathys Fillcoat, this is available in a black, light grey or dark grey. For the vertical surfaces we would recommend two coats of Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane with any bare metal aras primed first with one coat of Rust-Oleum 569/580 QD Metal Primer. This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS and BS colours in a satin or gloss finish. The coverage rates per coat are 0.5 to 1m² per litre for Rust-Oleum Mathys Fillcoat, 10.5m² per litre for Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane and 12.8m² per litre for Rust-Oleum 569/580 QD Metal Primer. | |

Yes this can be applied to metal previously painted with Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original assuming the previously applied paint is fully cured, clean, dry, sound it will require sanding prior to application. | |
Alan on 2021-08-27 21:43:22 | Question:

I am looking for a deep blue black colour for cast iron plant urns (outdoors) - I see you do have the colour I would like available in this product. I am planning on priming these first with your Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion - are both these products, CombiPrimer and the CombiColor, suitable for cast iron? The urns will be professionally sandblasted to remove old paint and any rust prior to priming. Many thanks. Dianne |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the cast iron pots are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet both of those products are suitable, we would recommend 2 coats of the Combicolor. | |

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the metal gates are previously painted, there are no bare metal areas and it is prepared as detailed in the Technical data sheet we can recommend Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original. This is available in matt black. If the gates are steel and there are bare metal areas this should be primed with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion. If the gates are galvanised, bare areas should be primed with Rust-Oleum PVDF Primer. | |
Mike Hutchinson on 2021-02-25 15:20:12 | Question:
I want to paint a Cardale garage door, it is a steel door which is foil laminate coated to provide the appearance of a real timber garage door in rosewood. Will this product be suitable or do I need a primer? Was looking at RAL7015 or 7024. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No this product cannot be used on a foil laminate. Assuming the foil laminate is thick enough to be sanded, is clean dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet we can recommend Rust-Oleum CombiColor Multi-Surface. We would advise to test for compatibility and adhesion on a small area prior to full application. This can be mixed to many RAL and BS colours in a matt, satin or gloss finish. | |

Jon-Luke on 2020-07-20 11:55:39 | Question:
The data sheet gives a recoat time, and a cure time which is great. The cure is around 7 days a 20c. However I want to put multiple coats for this product on and would usually do this as soon as possible. If the paint has cured, I would certainly sand it to get a key again. However can I put several coats on before it is fully cured without sanding, would it still bond well as the paint is still curing? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
The overcoat time is 16hours @20°C between coats. Two coats are recommended, sanding is not required between coats if the overcoat times are followed. | |
James on 2020-07-07 12:39:33 | Question:
Hi. Is this safe to use in a shed with livestock in it |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
We have no test data providing advice on what impact it would have if the dried coating is licked or ingested. It is also solvent based so solvent could be in the air during application which we'd recommend the animals not be exposed to. | |
Helen on 2020-06-21 16:09:05 | Question:

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes we are able to colour match a physical sample and assuming both surfaces are previously painted we would suggest Rust-Oleum CombiColor Multi-Surface. | |

Assuming the furniture's painted surface is intact, clean, dry and abraded, Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original can be used directly over the existing paint for this application. In any areas back to bare aluminium we recommend to spot prime with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion prior to application. | |
Andrew on 2019-07-16 12:20:34 | Question:
I’d like to use this paint on an old cast iron bird bath. Is it safe for wildlife once it has dried? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately Rust-Oleum CombiColor won't be suitable for this application due to it not being OK to be used on surfaces with standing/ponding water. | |
Adrienne Hodges on 2019-06-30 14:52:29 | Question:

Philip Green on 2019-05-24 13:38:14 | Question:
Can I use this paint to spray coat a car chassis and running gear? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor should be applied on bare, manually derusted or Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion primed steel to provide corrosion protection in light industrial environments. It can be applied by brush, roller and air-atomised spray. It is not designed or intended to be used on vehicles but has been used sucessfully by many customers previously through their own choice. | |
james on 2019-05-20 11:35:52 | Question:
Hi I want to paint some 2 kids radiators a rainbow effect ( about 7 colors): - would this paint be suitable? - is it safe to use indoors? - could I mix colors myself to make another like a blue and yellow to make a green as they are only small radiators and i dont really want to end up with 7 liters of paint. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor is heat resistant up to 90°C (dry heat), so as long as the surfaces being painted didn't exceed this temperature it should be OK. You can mix the colours together as suggested but it will have an solvent smell during use and drying. Rust-Oleum CombiColor is however an industrial product designed for exterior use or interior use in industrial environments so it is not specifically intended for internal home use. | |
Graham Marsh on 2019-02-28 14:26:37 | Question:
I need a matt white paint for driveway gates, these have been shot blasted, so bare metal. Please advise product and code, also stockists in/near Hereford, Herefordshire. or mail order |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor should be ideal for this application but we would suggest the gates are first primed with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion. Products should be ordered online from our website, delivery is nationwide via Fedex. | |

Adam on 2019-01-07 22:03:18 | Question:
Can I get a sample of the colour I am looking to use? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
The best way to check a colour is to buy a 1 litre of CombiColor in the colour you wish to use and apply it to the substrate in question and allow to dry. However we do have printed colour charts which we can post to you first, but these are only approximate and not provide a true representation of the colour. | |

Norma on 2018-11-18 09:41:33 | Question:
Dear Rawlings, I’m looking for a paint to cover two black garage doors that have been neglected for 25 years. There is no rust but the previous paint is flaking in places . Which paint would you recommend as a one-stop solution? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor would be our recommendation for this. Assuming there are no areas of bare metal, thoroughly clean with something like Rust-Oleum Pre-Paint Cleaner and lightly sand if necessary to provide a key, then apply 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor in your chosen colour and finish. Two primers are available for use if required; Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion and Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |

Angus on 2018-09-11 16:57:00 | Question:
We have an ornamental cast-iron stag in our garden which I need to repair (don't ask - it's got a broken leg!), fill some small casting holes, rub down and repaint, which I assume is relatively straight forward using your mat, one coat paint/ The problem is, it is currently two-tone painted mat black with bronze highlights - is that effect possible using your CombiColor paints? Kind regards Angus |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor is available in almost any RAL, BS or NCS colour in Satin or Gloss finishes, including metallic shades but we only offer black and white in a matt finish and don't offer 'two tone' colours. Alternatively you may prefer to use Rust-Oleum CombiColor Wrought Iron as this has a pleasing matt, metallic black or green finish available. | |
Peter Davies on 2018-09-06 23:21:38 | Question:

Lisa on 2018-08-21 23:13:52 | Question:
Can I paint over a metal surface previously painted with Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Paint using CombiColor or will the two paints react with one another? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes, Rust-Oleum CombiColor should be fine over fully cured Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Paint. Ensure surfaces to paint are clean, well adhered and lightly sanded to provide a key. | |
Tony West on 2018-08-19 16:23:22 | Question:

Neil on 2018-07-29 12:18:07 | Question:
Hi, I have a metal walkway leading into a residential property. It has been previously painted but the paint has warn off in some areas. Rust is also forming in some parts. I need something durable, that will prevent further rust and can be applied over the existing paint. Is this suitable? If not is there a product that is ? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor would be ideally suited to this application as long as it is not applied to any areas that are walked on. Prepare thoroughly as per the product data (clean, remove all rust, flaking paint, etc.) then apply Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion to all areas of bare metal (assuming mild steel) and then to primed and previously painted areas (after cleaning and sanding to provide a key) apply 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor in your chosen colour and finish. | |
Phil on 2018-07-19 21:23:58 | Question:

mike Ockwell on 2018-07-05 12:18:07 | Question:

Phil on 2018-04-16 20:34:22 | Question:
Hi can I use the combi colour on a narrow boat above the waterline if so can I roller it over the existing paint and should I thin it ? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes, sand intact coatings to roughen the surface slightly, the surface must be clean and dry during application. You can thin up to 10 vol. %; with Rust-Oleum 7301 CombiColor Thinner. Use short nap, polyamid (Perlon) 6-12mm rollers. Roller application may require 2 coats to achieve recommended dry film thickness. | |

Julie on 2018-04-08 13:46:55 | Question:
Can this be used on rusty galvanised garden seat as a one application |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
As you have advised the galvanised steel is rusty, we would presume that the substrate is therefore very well aged, meaning that it is therefore possible to consider applying Rust-Oleum CombiColor directly. This should be done after degreasing the surface with a solution of Rust-Oleum Mathys ND14 Cleaner Degreaser, and after de-rusting of the affected areas. One coat is possible, although our best advice remains that application of a second coat will provide the benefits of better appearance and longer life expectancy. | |
Dee on 2018-02-09 17:27:45 | Question:
Can I paint this directly onto an old aluminium garage door without sanding or 1st. Sowing some rust on edges at bottom of door but otherwise sound just needs a clean look. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No. The door should be thoroughly cleaned and the rusted areas should be abraded to remove all loose and flaking rust and spot primed with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion. The rest of the door that is sound, after cleaning should be primed with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion and then overcoated with Rust-Oleum CombiColor in the finish and colour of your choice after 30 minutes. | |
Scott on 2018-01-31 17:24:06 | Question:
Can this paint be used directly on a previously coated shop front surface? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the shop front is aluminium/powdercoat we would recommend using Rust-Oleum Pre-Paint Cleaner to prepare the surface then priming with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion and then finishing with Rust-Oleum CombiColor in the colour and finish of your choice. If the shop front has been previously painted with a conventional paint then after cleaning with Rust-Oleum Pre-Paint Cleaner, you can lightly abrade to provide a key and go straight on with CombiColor without the need for Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
Edward on 2017-11-26 20:09:35 | Question:
Going to sand blast a piece of agricultural machinery mild steel it will be exposed to fertilisers! What paint is best? Kongskilde red! Not sure on ral number? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
After blasting we would recommend applying Teamac Rapidry HB Zinc Phosphate Primer followed by Teamac Metalcote Plant Enamel. Unfortunately we have no reference of 'Kongskilde Red' so you would have to either choose the nearest RAL or BS colour or send us a sample to match. | |
Terry Robson on 2017-08-22 06:54:03 | Question:
I want to be sure Combi-colour paint will be OK to use on pre-painted and rubbed down aluminium patent glazing. While rubbing down, some areas are back to the bare surface. Will the primer/paint combined be enough? Can you advise me please before I start! |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Soundly adhered, well prepared previously painted areas can have the CombiColor applied directly. Any bare areas of aluminium must be first primed with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
WAYNE on 2017-08-12 09:02:56 | Question:
can this be applied to aged powder coated garage doors, in a one coat application ?

Anthony McGuinness on 2017-08-01 22:03:25 | Question:
I have been told by somebody who has used this paint, that it can be applied to PVC window frames. He used it for this purpose approx 1 year ago and so far so good. Do you know if it will be suitable for this application? I know you do a 2 in 1 plastic paint but don't do the colour I want in that range. Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
If you want to apply the CombiColor original to PVC you would need to first prime with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
John Blanning on 2017-07-29 17:08:43 | Question:
Hi... Is CombiColor suitable for painting wood? I've a front door I want to paint and CombiColor is available in the RAL colour I want. If it's OK, will it give a high gloss finish? What should I use as an undercoat? Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No, instead we would recommend you prime the wood with Zinsser Cover Stain followed by Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss. | |

Hi there, I am on your website and looking to purchase Combi-COlour metal paint. It says available in many colours and I selected RAL 7016 in Matt 750mm and I am unable to add it to the basket. Is it available please? many thanks, David |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
The RAL and BS colours available in CombiColor are only available in Satin or Gloss finishes and in 1L or 2.5L sizes. If you require a matt finish in a RAL or BS colour, Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt may be suitable for your requirements. | |

Tallulah on 2017-05-23 17:15:54 | Question:
Hi there, would the combicolour be suitable for repainting a van with a roller? It will be post bodywork so there will be patches of filler etc. Would you recommend using the anti-rust primer first? Also is it worth clear coating after the colour and if so which product would be best? Many thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Although it is not what Rust-Oleum CombiColor was primarily designed for it is used for this type of application regularly. You will find numerous videos on YouTube of people doing similar projects by brush and roller. On bare ferrous metals Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion is always recommended to be used before application of the CombiColor. | |
Mandy on 2017-04-07 18:53:11 | Question:
Would the Combicolor be suitable for painting the outside of a narrowboat? If so, how many coats should we apply? |

Yes, as long as suitable preparation is carried out and all areas painted are above the waterline. Apply 2 - 3 coats. | |

We're looking to spray paint old cast iron rads (we're having them sandblasted first to clean off the old paint/rust). Can we use this product straight onto the cast iron? Do all the colours come in spray format/can, or do we need to adapt for use with pressure spray? Thanks. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
We would recommend applying Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion to the prepared cast iron surface before application of Rust-Oleum CombiColor. The primer is also available in an aerosol on the above link, Rust-Oleum CombiColor can be found in aerosols HERE. | |
sandie on 2016-06-06 16:16:26 | Question:

|
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Add up to 10% (by volume) Rust-Oleum 7301 CombiColor Thinner. Use short nap, poly-amid (Perlon) 6-12mm rollers. Roller application may require 2 coats to achieve recommended dry film thickness. | |
Simon Davis on 2016-05-24 17:08:38 | Question:
Can this be used to repaint a fibreglass vehicle ? What sort or preparation would you recommend? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Fibreglass should be cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a key, CombiColor can then be applied directly to the surface. If you encounter any adhesion problems or very hard/smooth surfaces you can always prime first with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
Michele Baker on 2016-05-24 11:44:46 | Question:
Can you use this directly onto galvanised steel? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No, after appropriate cleaning of the galvanised surface you would need to prime with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion before applying Rust-Oleum CombiColor. | |
Robert on 2016-05-10 21:36:32 | Question:
Can you mix this paint to any colour? could i send you something the same colour that you can scan to create the paint? am looking to paint a van in this colour http://www.motormorph.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/c30600.jpg
Thanks Rob |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes, please send your colour sample to;
Rawlins Paints FAO Colour Matching Northspeed House Moorview Holbeck Leeds LS11 9NF
We recommend you purchase 1lt of the matched colour to test the colour prior purchasing the full amount required as we cannot offer refunds on bespoke colours. Please ensure the colour sample you provide us with is good quality, we cannot match from pictures, material, letterheads, etc. | |
suneil on 2016-03-29 10:09:26 | Question:
I need something to use on some internal steelwork. It's primed with a zinc undercoat already. Is the matt finish a suitable product for this? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
It certainly is but this product is only available in Black and White in a matt finish. If you would like to choose one of the other colours available you would have to take it in a Satin or Gloss finish. | |
tom on 2016-03-20 17:32:21 | Question:
I am planning on using Rustoleum Combi Colour to repaint my van and was wondering whether it would also be suitable to repaint the plastic bumpers using the same paint? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes it would but we would recommend priming any plastic first with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
James Taylor on 2015-10-31 09:35:48 | Question:
Would Rust-Oleum CombiColor be suitable to paint a previously painted metal garage door which is down to bare metal at the bottom where the original paint has started to flake off? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes, ensure any loose and flaking paint is removed and the existing paint is sanded to provide a key for the CombiColor to stick to before painting. On the areas that are back to bare metal, although CombiColor can be applied directly to certain metals, garage doors are usually made from galvanised steel, aluminium, etc. which are difficult metals to stick to so we would recommend spot priming these areas first with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion. | |
shane on 2015-09-22 12:30:41 | Question:
What is RAL, BS and NCS, and how much is it for a mixed product? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
RAL, BS and NCS are 3 colour ranges that are used throughout the industrial sector. Rust-Oleum CombiColor is available to order via our website in any RAL or BS colour, if you choose an NCS colour this can be purchased for no extra cost but the order would have to be taken over the phone. | |
shane on 2015-09-21 17:29:48 | Question:
I'm wanting to touch up my white van with Rust-Oleum CombiColor. Unsure whether I need gloss or satin finish, and if the white will even match? I'm presuming the gloss finish will be more suitable but not sure how shiny the satin finish is? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Although Rust-Oleum CombiColor will be suitable for touching your van up, there are many different variations of white and the standard white CombiColor comes in is unlikely to match your van. We can mix Rust-Oleum CombiColor to any RAL, BS or NCS colour, so we would suggest matching it to the nearest colour from one of these ranges and we can mix this for you in gloss or satin finish. As you have said, the finish on your van at the moment is most probably gloss, but for your reference the gloss level of the satin is 35-55%. | |
Eve on 2015-07-11 11:19:02 | Question:
Can I use Rust-Oleum CombiColor over a metal table previously painted with hammerite? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes. Clean the surfaces down and lightly abrade with sandpaper to provide a key and then apply CombiColor directly to the painted surfaces in 1 or 2 coats as required. | |
