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.
Note: a clear coat will change the appearance of the rust effect.
Surfaces
• Paper-faced plasterboard
• Cement sheet
• Brick
Previously Painted Surfaces
• 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.

Apply one coat of Dulux Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.
