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. Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Coverage and Finish - Perfect for Metal Railings - 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. ## Features - Contains 2-butanone oxime.

It doesn't have much gap filling quality. But if blobbed on I guess it would be suitable - it adheres to metal and other surfaces. **Q: Would i beable to use this in a spray gun?** A: I can confirm, yes, you can spray this, and it goes on beautifully once you get it properly thinned and dialed in pressure-wise on the gun. In the end, we went with a ratio of 2.5l of paint to 800ml of Hammerite Thinner (very important: only use Hammerite Thinner). You can buy it in 2.5l as well if you need to spray 7.5l and still have a bit to clean up with. I have also tried this with the Hammered, rather than Smooth finish version with success at the same ratio. **Q: Should i use on new iron railings that already has primer and is not galvanised?** A: No problem. I have just painted new undercoated railing with Smooth Black Hammerite, gives good finish. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent at protecting outdoor metals. *by J***N on 7 December 2021* This item is purchased for a sole purpose, protecting our large swing chair frame from the outdoor elements, which is does perfectly.

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 ## Frequently Bought Together - Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint - Smooth Black Finish 2.5L - Harris Essentials Walls & Ceilings Paint Brush Set | Pack of 5 | 0.5", 1", 1.5", 2", Grey - Fit For The Job 7 pc Foam Mini Paint Roller Set for Painting with Gloss & Satin, Wood & Metal, Skirting, Window Sills, Doors, 4 inch Roller and Tray Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/60017486-hammerite-direct-to-rust-metal-paint-smooth-black-finish-2](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/60017486-hammerite-direct-to-rust-metal-paint-smooth-black-finish-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
