Artisan Rust Activator is the second step in a two-part paint system, which when paired, oxidises, leaving walls and painted objects with natural shades of earthy rusted iron. Ideal for interior and exterior projects. A statement making scene on its own or balance organically with leafy green fauna and woven textures.

Allow 12 hours of dry time for the Rust Effect paint and then use a brush to apply 2 coats of the Rust Activator solution over the dry Rust Effect paint. The effect will immediately begin to develop within 20 minutes and continue to do so over time, similar to real rust.

Please note that if you wish, you can seal the painted surface to ensure no residue comes away from the wall by using Craig & Rose Furniture Effect Wax. Using wax to seal the wall will slightly alter the finished effect so we suggest to test this on a small section first.

For further information on prep, application, dry time and coverage please see our Craig & Rose Artisan Technical Data Sheets.
