Graphite is especially suitable for painting iron and sheet metal . The pigment consists of a fatty mineral carbon that is also used as a lubricant and for pencils. Surfaces painted with Graphite linseed oil paint get a beautiful slightly shimmering luster. On bare iron outdoors, first prime with our iron primer as rust protection.

Example: A painted metal roof is heavily exposed to UV light, ice and snow, and therefore the linseed oil that binds the paint together quickly breaks down. If the roof is then painted with Graphite, the oily pigment holds the paint surface together in a fantastic way and the roof stays beautiful year after year.

You can of course paint with Graphite on wood and other surfaces as well.

Keep in mind that Graphite rubs off a little when rubbed, so choose to paint on surfaces where this is not a problem.
