## Description

From the manufacturer

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.
Review: Great on radiators - Great paint and easy to use. Drips a little so need covers round. Great for radiators to make them look bright and new. Smells a little but not too bad and soon goes away. Nice bright colour and nice and thick so stays on well. Would recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much does it cost**
A: £6.99

**Q: How thick is this paint and would it be suitable to use to cover nails on a tin roof?**
A: It is reasonably thick - for paint. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great on radiators
*by A***E on 24 February 2026*

Great paint and easy to use. Drips a little so need covers round. Great for radiators to make them look bright and new. Smells a little but not too bad and soon goes away. Nice bright colour and nice and thick so stays on well. Would recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality High Temperature Paint
*by P***E on 3 October 2025*

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
