The colour paste allows you to mix your own linseed oil paint. To create a linseed oil paint you should mix the colour paste with boiled linseed oil.
Haematite/hematite is typically used as a rust protecting paint for metal surfaces. Haematite is the replacement for the toxic red lead and is used as a primer for metal surfaces/objects such as window and door fittings.

Our graphite grey has a metallic gloss and is comparable to the colour of a pencil lead. The rust protection paint has been used since the 19th century. Natural graphite is first ground, extracted and then cleaned. It belongs to the group of carbons, but has a crystalline structure. It is particularly suitable for ironwork, iron bars/iron gates, wrought-iron decorative elements. If you are looking for a darker, but metallic shade, we recommend our graphite black. Graphite is semi-opaque and lightfast.
We recommend you to prime your metal surfaces with haematite. Linseed oil paint haematite is an excellent corrosion protection and works as a so called sacrificial layer.
To get an more diffusion dense surface, you can mix graphite grey with Tonkinlack/Le Tonkinois. Please ask us about it.

Our black graphite is a warm black with a metallic gloss. The rust protection paint has been used since the 19th century. Natural graphite is first ground, extracted and then cleaned. It belongs to the group of carbons, but has a crystalline structure. It is particularly suitable for ironwork, iron bars/iron gates, wrought-iron decorative elements. If you are looking for a lighter, but metallic shade, we recommend our gray graphite. Graphite is semi-opaque and lightfast.

Boiled linseed oil to mix our linseed oil paste to a spreadable paint. Boiled linseed oil is linseed oil that was mixed with a desiccant. It is added to linseed oil pastes to form a spreadable linseed oil paint. For this purpose, it is stirred in equal parts of boiled linseed oil and linseed oil paste including the desiccant. The amount of desiccant varies from colour to colour.
Good boiled linseed oil has a bright clear color. It's a little thicker than cold-pressed linseed oil but without being viscous or too oily.
Boiled linseed oil usually dries within 16-18 hours, in some cases 24 hours.
