Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint, Wild Thyme, 750 ml (Pack of 1)

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.

Brough this for brighten up and rust prevention. Got the 750ml and just did the whole stair case. It was only one coat and although I may get another tin for giving certain areas a second coat, this is more down to the brushes used and workmanship. Dry time was pretty quick as well. A better painter with better brushes would no doubt finish the lot with one coat. 100% recommend. It's a lovey dark green and loves thick as it goes on. It does have a certain sparkle to it but it certainly makes an ugly item (such as courtyard fire stairs) look a hell of a lot better. Great value for money from this seller also

Great coverage. Done a small radiator and a couple of lengths of pipework with 2 coats, with about a third left. Tried hard to get a super smooth finish but there were some areas that cane out hammered. Not a problem and doesn't look bad, I was just aiming for a super smooth finish. Easy to wash off brushes with white spirit. Comes out quite runny but seems to thicken quite quickly, but jot to the point of being unusable. Consistently good outcome, so happy to keep buying and using

Paint was great painted radiator turned out smashing looks brand new .no complaints with the paint

Very well packaged against leakage. Product is as usual superb

Very pleased with the finish and the coverage (3 coats on a 1600x600 radiator with paint to spare ). Very thin so be sure to prep properly (degrease and lightly sand) then apply quite thickly watching for runs. I used a paint brush on the top & bottom and a small roller for the main body of the radiator. One coat probably would have done but I wanted it to be a hard wearing as possible so applied 3 coats.

I did remove most of the rust from a pair of racks that had been in a greenhouse for over 25 years before I applied this paint. It covers well and the racks look almost new. Great value for money and I like the colour.

Pricey. With the right roller brush (sponge), was easy to apply. Have to be quick, dries fairly quickly. Good coverage, applied 2 coats, 12 hours apart. Tin says allow 16 hours between coats however i found that it dried half that time ( temps were 17-19 degrees celcius). Used about half a tin for 2 medium sized radiators (1 coat on one side and 2 coats on the other side). Radiators looked like new! ———————————— My Rating System ———————————— *opinions are my own and based on my own experiences and preferences* 1 Star : Extremely poor quality product.
