HAM6701341 250ml Special Metals Primer - Red

Super easy to paint on copper pipes ready to gloss. Doesn’t run if you take your time. Prefect finish

Used to paint my galvanised garage door, coverage was good with easy application although a little bit thin but quite common for hammerite. One year later paint is still attached so primer is obviously good quality. Excellent value for money.

A very good primer

Works quite well. Bought as I had new copper piping to boiler and needed painting. Coated pipes several times over 2 days as one coat wasn't quite enough. If you're using water based paint, you'll need several coats of the paint, but does the job OK.

Great product easy to.use

I was priming the gates which are zinc coated and the primer really took a couple of coats. It’s also good that it’s water based because it can be washed off the skin relative easy but once it’s dry it’s water proof and lasts 8 years. I used the black paint after the primer and it was way to thick, almost like tar but the primer shows under the black paint very easy so I’ve had to put 3 coats of the black hammerite just to get rid of the red primer colour and even 4 or 5 coats on some parts of the gates. The flur d lis tips of the gate are gold coloured, so I used the gold coloured hammerite which is much thinner than the black and spreads better and you get a more even coat although that red primer meant that it needed 2 to 3 coats. All in all I used to just spray paint the gates black onto the zinc coating but it chipped so easy and meant that it needed priming to keep that thick black hammerite paint from chipping but now it’s done and it won’t need doing for another 8 to 10 years but if I was to strip them and do it again I’d defiantly use the spray hammerite paint because that black tinned paint just leaves brush streaks all over place and looks a mess. Anyway, I hope that some one will see this and not make the same mistake I made and buy the hammerite spray paint.

What can I say about this product,never been disappointed with it,definitely recommend this product

It's ok,
