Extreme Paints Skip & Container Paint – Anti Corrosive 20.0 kg

Q: Will this anti-rust skip paint stop existing rust?

It prevents further rusting, but heavy corrosion must be wire-brushed and spot-primed with anti-corrosive oxide primer first.

Q: Can I spray this skip and container paint straight from the tin?

Yes, often without thinning. If needed, thin with up to 15% white spirit for smoother spray application.

Q: Does this industrial enamel need a topcoat?

No. Two coats of this high-gloss oxide enamel provide full colour, gloss, and rust protection.

Q: Is a clearcoat needed for UV resistance?

No additional sealer is required. This UV-stable gloss finish resists fading in outdoor environments.

Q: How long before I can stack skips after painting?

Wait 48 hours for handling and up to 7 days for full mechanical hardness and impact resistance.

Q: Can I use it on galvanised metal skips or containers?

Yes, but abrade the surface and use an etch primer before applying this anti-corrosive enamel.

Q: Will the gloss fade outdoors?

Gloss retention is excellent. After several years of exposure, a gradual reduction in sheen may occur.

Q: What is the best nozzle size for spray application?

Use a 0.017–0.019" tip at 2,500 psi. Adjust for even coverage and minimal overspray.

Q: Is this paint suitable for wooden skip lids?

Yes. Dry timber should be primed with an alkyd wood primer before application.

Q: How should I dispose of leftover solvent paint?

Collect in a sealed container and dispose of according to local hazardous-waste regulations.

Does cold weather affect drying time?

Yes. Low temperatures or humidity can delay curing. Apply between 10–25 °C for best results.

Can I adjust the colour on-site?

Minor adjustments can be made with universal alkyd-compatible tints, but factory tinting is preferred for accuracy.

Will this skip paint adhere to previously painted surfaces?

Yes, if the existing coating is sound and cleaned. Sand glossy surfaces before recoating.

What’s the film thickness of one coat?

One roller-applied coat yields approximately 50 µm dry film thickness. Avoid excessive build-up.

How do I maintain painted skips and containers?

Wash with mild detergent regularly and touch up any chips with the same industrial skip paint to prevent rust.
