Direct to Rust Metal Paint - Smooth Black Finish 2.5L

Used this Hammerite Direct to Rust paint on some metal fence railings and it worked brilliantly. The smooth black finish looks clean and professional, and it went on easily with no need for a separate primer. Coverage was solid, even on older metal, and it dried to a tough, even coat. It’s ideal for outdoor jobs, weather-resistant and designed to last. I’ve used other metal paints before, but this one really stands out for ease of use and finish quality. No flaking, no fuss, just a reliable result. If you’re tackling gates, railings, or any exposed metalwork, this is a great choice. One tin went further than expected too, which was a bonus.

This item is purchased for a sole purpose, protecting our large swing chair frame from the outdoor elements, which is does perfectly. Our frame is out in all weathers, as it is very big and it is easier to treat with Hammerite, than taking it apart every year and assembling it the next. The proof in the pudding, is that our frame shows no signs of rust at all and it is fourteen years old now, even on the swing points where the swing chair is attached to the frame. We paint the frame every two years with the same colour paint, as Wild Thyme is a lovely colour for the frame, not too soft or too hard in colour and compliments any garden. We find that the paint goes on really well, it covers well to and goes a long way, but never use Hammerite paint on a hot day, it must be used on a cool dry day, cool and overcast is perfect, as it starts to cure quite quickly when you paint with it. On a hot day it is not possible to paint and get a perfect finish, as the frame is quite warm to start with and the air is also hot, so the paint will gloop up in these conditions and not cover and spread nicely. Used correctly, this is the perfect product for using on metal-based items that you want to protect year after year.

Top stuff.. Does what it says on the tin. Used many times. Brilliant product

Does what it says on the tin

There are 'cheaper' brands on the market including ones from LIDL, but Hammerite is and always will be the best. I personally proved this on two pieces of metal that were starting to rust. After two years, the non Hammerite make failed and rust started to show through, but not with the Hammerite make.

Best metal paint around goes over rust no problem this paint is expensive but worth every penny I always buy it cos I know it does the job well

Pros - really handy where you don't want to get an additional primer for rusted items (make sure you sand/clean down rusted parts) - dries quickly and has easy application - great matte black finish - one coat gives good coverage - goes a long way, I painted my balcony railings, a portable greenhouse which had rusted bars and a small border on the front my house - brushes were relatively easy to clean after using this paint Cons - not the cheapest compared to some other paints on the market but the quality is arguably better than most and you don't need an additional primer Overall would definitely recommend

Excellent product. Easy to apply odour which is a good

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Coverage! This black matte paint provides excellent coverage with just one coat. Easy to apply, dries quickly, and looks fantastic. Highly recommended!

Very very bad product supplied to me , seems to be diluted externally( density very low). Colour is not black at all ( Its brown). Materials supplied in plastic open can instead of sealed tin can shown in AMAZON.

Nice and heavy paint over shadows the rust and covers it entirely.

Bra som vanligt! Bra täckförmåga
