The linseed oil paint Graphite Black is immediately ready to paint. 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 grey graphite. 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.

By the way, we can also mix graphite black with Tonkinlack/Le Tonkinois. This gives an even more diffusion dense surface. Please ask us about it.

similar to NCS S 8502-B

Range: approx. 15 m² / liter 

You can choose whether you want the colour with or without a drying accelerator. The siccative additive accelerates the drying process by about one day. 

We recommend priming with our cold-pressed linseed oil to saturate the wood. 

If you are still undecided, you can order our colour samples.

Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/paper soaked in linseed oil can easily catch fire. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.
