Hammerite | Ultima Metal Paint | Smooth Light Grey 750ml |5362528

Great product... good value, speedy delivery

Tin arrived damaged during transit but fortunately the paint had not leaked. The paint is easily applied by brush and drys to a good protective finish even on rusty metal.

I'm using this to paint a standard size metal garage door which I stripped down to bare metal. Applied this paint straight onto the metal as recommended but soon became aware that one coat would not be enough. The paint is actually a joy to use and no runs appeared although I was using a smallish brush - dries quickly but leaves you just enough time to work it - I did apply in direct sunlight in about 20 degrees which may have been a little too warm. Had to order another 750ml to do the 2nd coat so total cost for just one garage door is around £56. For water based paint this is far too expensive and I can't help thinking that you're paying for the name. Have no idea yet as to it's durability - so fingers crossed.

Good quality

I’m very disappointed with this paint. Despite following proper surface preparation and cleaning the metal thoroughly, rust started to reappear after just 3 months. This is far from what I would expect from a product marketed as “advanced protection” and “direct to rust.” The application itself was also frustrating. The paint does not cover well, tends to smear during application, and requires multiple coats to achieve even a basic finish. Even then, the result is inconsistent and not particularly durable. Overall, the performance does not match the claims on the packaging. I would not recommend this product if you are looking for a long-lasting and reliable metal protection solution.
