Reactiv Leaf Rust is an anthracite coloured reactive paint.

When combined with Rust Spirit, it allows you to create a natural decorative rust effect on nonferrous metals and other surfaces. It does this by reacting with the metal particles in Reactiv Leaf Rust.

Use it to up-cycle any thing, from interior design ornaments, to garden features to walls!

  • Once applied, can be used alongside Rust Spirit
  • Revamp your interior or exterior design

  • Use on external garden surfaces

Always read the Reactiv Leaf Rust Technical Data Sheet before using and follow the instructions carefully.
