questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

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.

questions 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.

questions 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.

questions Raymond Power on 2020-04-26 17:43:19
Question: 

Can this be used on painted aluminium garden furniture? Will it need undercoating first? Thanks

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

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.

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:

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.

questions 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

questions 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.

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.

questions 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.

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.

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?

questions 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.

questions 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.

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%.

questions Eve on 2015-07-11 11:19:02
Question:
