Graphite
NCS 8400-N
Graphite is for specialty applications only. It is not an average Linseed Oil Paint color and should not be mistaken or confused with Ottosson Dark Grey Linseed Oil Paint.
​
Ottosson Graphite, the same graphite used in your reliable No. 2 pencil, is a very traditional coating for demanding exterior metal surfaces, such as roofs, gutters, farming equipment, etc.
​
For such applications, apply as a top-coat to the Iron Oxide Minium "primer."
​
It can also be used as a stove-blacking for metal exposed to high-heat such as cast iron stoves for example.
If surface rust starts to develop over time, clean the surface with linseed oil soap or wipe down to ensure a clean, dry surface before applying another relatively thin, even coat of Graphite.
​
Note: Graphite should not be applied on high-traffic areas or surfaces that will be touched or sat upon as it can easily leave marks or rub off.
