Performance guide

Dulux Design Rust is an easy and effective way to give your interior/exterior feature wall a unique point of difference. It can also be used to transform doors and outdoor accessories into a modern design statement.

To achieve an authentic rust effect, first apply 2 coats of Dulux Design Rust Base Paint and then apply 2 coats of Dulux Rust Solution.

To prevent rub-off and run-off we recommend sealing the surface with a clear coat varnish such as Berger Jet Dry Stone & Paving Sealer in Natural mixed with water at a 1:1 ratio. 

Surface preparation
Previously painted surface

• Dulux Rust Effect may be applied over an existing paint finish providing the surface is free of dirt, grease and dust.
• Scrape and sand down any loose, peeling or flaking paint.
• Surfaces previously painted with gloss or semi gloss paints should be sanded back to a dull finish.

Previously painted surfaces in good condition:
Dust, then clean with Selleys® Sugar Soap.

Previously painted surfaces with cracks or holes repaired with filler:
Spot prime repairs with Dulux Prepcoat Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.

Glossy surfaces:
Lightly sand to a dull finish. 

Unpainted surfaces
Unpainted plasterboard, brick, cement sheet, bare timber: Apply one coat of Dulux Acrylic Sealer Undercoat. Unpainted set plaster, fibrous plaster, plasterglass: Apply one coat of Dulux PRECISION® Sealer Binder. Unpainted metal surfaces: Thoroughly degrease and apply Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer.
How to apply
Brush, Roller

Before you begin, test your application method on a large piece of board.

• Stir thoroughly prior to use.
• Apply two coats of Dulux Rust Effect with a wide brush using random brush strokes.
• Do not roll or spray.
 
• After 12 hours, apply two coats of Dulux Rust Effect Solution over the Dry Rust Effect.

• Rust residue may be rubbed off when touched.
• On exterior surfaces the rust effect will continue to develop over time.
• Rust run-off may stain adjacent surfaces.
• To avoid rub-off and run-off seal with one coat of Berger® Jet Dry® Stone & Paving Sealer in Natural finish mixed with water at a 1:1 ratio. 

How to dispose responsibly
Unused paint

Do not pour leftover paint down the drain.

Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections.
