Ronseal Direct To Metal Paint White Gloss 2.5 Litre

Ronseal Direct to Metal Paint is a water-based coating designed to deliver a tough, durable finish on metal surfaces. It can be applied directly to bare or rusted metal without the need for a primer, making it suitable for quick metal restoration projects. The gloss white finish provides a smooth appearance and protection against rust and weathering. It features a quick recoat time and becomes showerproof in 30 minutes, enabling faster project turnaround. The product comes in a 2.5 L container and covers up to 8 m² per litre, with guidance to apply 2–3 coats for maximum protection. The base is water-based with low VOC, contributing to easier cleanup and indoors/outdoors use. Preparation involves cleaning the metal surface, removing loose rust or paint from bare metal, and lightly sanding previously painted surfaces if in good condition. This coating aims to offer long-lasting performance with a focus on direct-to-metal application and convenient maintenance for both DIY and professional use.
