Ideal for using as stated over rusting metal, Dries quickly and with a great finish. Can be used to 'dip' smaller components but they do need to hang for a while both for the drips to stop & to dry.
Also a goody to paint over (good quality) primer onto wood. I used the hammered black onto ply, aluminium & steel all on the same trailer that was a custom build for an elecric wheelchair. Fantastic finish that seems to self clean (I live on the North Devon coast so sea salt & sand are 'normal' in rain & with the winds).
Used a 2.5L in tin for a 4ft wide, 5ft long & 4ft high trailer with a solid lid. Two coats outside. Two coats inside for the floor. (Inside timber done woth decking stain).
Very happy with the results.

So I bought some hammered effect paint for my garage doors. Paint I would say is thinner than hamerite but covers well and if anything is easy to apply. Delivery good well packaged and on time.. Good price so happy person will use these folks again

This paint is just like the old hammarite and performs just as good. I have been using this paint for a long time on boat engines and it has performed extremely well indeed. It has only just started to need a recoat but only in the odd place. It was applied on a light coat of rust which was only lightly rubbed down. We only gave it one coat and was quite sufficient. It also goes a long way and coated two very big engines (six litres each) so we are just about to re order.
