5158235 750ml Metal Paint - Smooth Black

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.

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