Hammerite5158235 750ml Metal Paint - Smooth Black

I bought this 1L pot which is a 750ml pot with 33% extra free, making it the 1 litre pot which cost me £20.86. This was a great price after i compared it with B&Q, The Range and the likes. My pot arrived in immaculate condition. No dents, dinks or spillages with mine. It arrived in a very sturdy nice fitting box to fit the tin, which had a cut out circle for the pot to sit in to keep it secure. It also had a cross of very sticky tape across the lid. I’ve used this paint before and have been very impressed with it coverage and how long it lasts. I painted our garage with it during the UK lockdown and its still looking fabulous, so I bought this second pot to paint my sons garage door with too. I’ve really got no patience for thorough prepping before painting because its so boring and labour intensive, but thats why I love this paint as its quite forgiving, you can paint over rust, and to be quite honest its going on a garage in a small block…..its not outside my house. I wasn’t looking for an award-winning paint job. It just needed to make a faded old flakey garage door look ten-times better, and this did the job perfectly. I know from using it on our garage it is hardwearing and withstands the UK elements and looks great years after. I painted two coats on both of of our garages. One pot does two coats easily on a normal standard UK garage door, and I did the door sides and the bottom. After doing the two coats there was roughly an inch of paint left in the bottom of the tin which may be good for any touch ups it may need once its dried overnight. Really pleased with this paint and the look afterwards. The paint is thick and sticky so there’s no salvaging and washing the brushes out after. I just binned it…..life’s too short!! I’ve posted the before and after pic so you can see the vast improvement to my son’s garage door. I just hope he’s impressed with my handy work 😊

Always a good value product. Swift delivery. Will order more, my metal garden furniture looks like new and my metal bird ornaments are due for a spruce up. Much cheaper than replacing them. I also sanded then painted an old wheelbarrow which will be full of geraniums anytime soon. The last application lasted as age. Very happy.

The product is good, but it can arrive damaged. The supplier gave a small discount as a result.

Does what it claims on the tinGood price with extra quantity

Easy to use as always and applied to a lovely finish on my driveway gates. The gates look very smart with the paint now applied.

Excellent product, covers very well. Just ensure you the desired cleaning agent for this type of paint.Has excellent shelf life provided lid firmly replaced and kept in a cool dry place.

Paint tin was badly bashed in on one side the box it came in did not have any marks on it which makes me think it happened before it was put in the box

Good stuff does what it says on the tin
