Hammer paint is widely used in modern interior design. It is used for painting a variety of metal structures.
After the paint dries, a coating is created on the metal surface that simulates the embossing resulting from
hammer blows
on the metal. Hammer paint can have a different basis (epoxy, alkyd-styrene, acrylic) and filler (aluminum powder, fine glass, as well as other materials). Paint with a hammer effect has anti-corrosion properties, gives the coating strength, enhances adhesion to metals. This
type of paint is characterized by high resistance to temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and also to atmospheric moisture. Hammer paint is used for painting metal surfaces for industrial use, cases of electrical appliances and other things. Quite often, the paint presented is used to form anti-corrosion protective coatings for both steel and galvanized surfaces.
Hammer paint perfectly hides a variety of product defects. To paint the product you will need some equipment and materials: hammer paint, roller, brush, acetone, solvent 646-648, gloves, rust enamel primer.
Before painting, the metal surface is cleaned of paint residues and rust. To do this, you can use a metal brush or
sandpaper. After cleaning, dirt and dust are removed from the metal surface. Further, the entire surface is degreased with acetone. The painted surfaces are primed with enamel on rust. Surface painting is carried out at a temperature of from -10 to +30 degrees.
Before the painting process itself, the hammer paint is thoroughly mixed. After drying the primer enamel, the product is covered with a layer of the above paint, for this you can use a spray gun, roller or brush. During the coloring process, the enamel is diluted with a solvent. Hammer paint is applied in several layers, after the first layer has completely dried, the second, and then the third layer of enamel is immediately applied. An important nuance in this process is that each subsequent layer should be thicker than the previous one.
The paint dries up within a day, a unique patterned pattern forms on the surface. To prevent the formation of an ugly pattern on vertical surfaces, enamel must be applied with a thin layer. After painting, do not forget to ventilate the room. Use a thinner to remove paint stains on the tools.
Many people wonder what paints are used to paint concrete floors. A distinctive feature of concrete floors is that they are high strength and durable. Most often they can be seen in the utility rooms, production halls, garages and even in some residential premises. The most vulnerable spot is the top layer. The concrete surface is dusty, therefore it has an unattractive appearance. Most often, concrete coverings are covered with a traditional floor covering or modern paint is used for concrete floors.
