## Description

From the brand Direct to Rust Metal Paints Rust Treatments and Primers

Review: Very good coverage, with great stabilising properties over rust - We have used a number of these tins of spray paint. The effectiveness, from using within intricate and hard to otherwise get to places of our iron fencing, to that of rusted garden ornaments has been great. Please see my photos. We used both the spray and the std brush type satin black hammerite paint, with great success, more so with the spray. If you take a look at my photos of the railings you will note the spiral sections covered fully in black spray, using these tins. With a brush it would have been so difficult to get into those tight spaces, trying to do so gave a very poor finish, and yet it was so quickly done with this paint. It covers well, more so if the surface you are spraying is darkened, as in this case I used black. You just need to be aware that a special primer is needed if sparing directly onto zinc, aluminium or galvanised metal. Shaking the can and it applies evenly, never "spitting" in any of the cans we have used. We always, when finished, invert the can upside down just to clear the nozzle of any paint that would otherwise dry there. In about 15 mins of the first light coat it is ready to apply another. It is suggested for maximum rust stability 3 or 4 coats are used, that is what we have done. You do need to be aware that adequate ventilation is needed when applying, we have always used this outside. It is noted not to be safe for use on toys. Looking back at some rusted garden ornaments from the previous year, sprayed with this paint, they still look great, no cracking or peeling. The rust there, brushed off and not loose, not returned. It does seem to offer good UV fastness also. Cleaning surfaces of hands, but we do wear black disposable gloves when applying, in the usual paint cleaners is fine. Overall I would find it difficult to fault this paint. It simply does, and does it well, what it states on the tin. Take a look at the photo showing the satin finish of this tin on the left and then a smooth type finish on the right, the right being much more glossy and always very reflective. This satin paint shows far less defects on a surface, looking very nice but not being matte. Very much recommended. I hope this has been helpful.
Review: Hammerite Spray Paint. Direct to Rust Exterior Black Metal Paint, Satin Finish. Corrosion Resistance - Hammerite Spray Paint for Metal. Direct to Rust Exterior Black Metal Paint, Satin Finish. Corrosion Resistance Over the years i have used literally dozens of different spray paints and liquid pot paints. The hammerite paints and undercoats have been one of my go to products for many years and this one is as excellent as all the other hammerite types used. Very easy to apply, leaves a superb finish provided you have prepared, degreased and applied to your surface properly. Not trying to tell anyone how to suck an egg here, but make sure the can is at room temperature or summer temperature weather warm, and dont skip shaking the can 'vigourously' for a minimum of three minutes. Once you apply a coat clear the nozzle to keep it free of blockages, do this by tipping the can upside down and applying a quick spray on the cans nozzle, dont point the nozzle at yourself or anything you value when you do this, as a small amount of paint will come out. I also wipe the excess paint free of the nozzle with a piece of kitchen towel after. Same with the paint in the tins, make sure its warm and mix it properly, the finished results you will get are significantly better than if you don't. The Spray nozzle provided on the cans are really accurate with a great spray pattern, that provides a lovely smooth and clean finish, with no random blobs / pinholes or sputter marks, so much so i keep them for using with other spray cans. Hammerite over and undercoat paints are really tough and durable paints, i mainly use them for vehicle underbody and component repair, and they really do last a protect for a very very long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be suitable for use on the metal parts of an air rifle? Internals too? Cheers**
A: Oh my Lord, NO!! The external parts of an air rifle are steel that's been blued. Look for steel bluing, but certainly don't paint with anything.  DO NOT paint ANY internals or you'll have a big stick in the shape of air rifle rather than something that will shoot!  Clean, degrease then a very thin layer of gungrease.

**Q: Can this be used on a pendant light. I need to colour around where you insert the light bulbs**
A: Hi ,covers areas beautifully if you spray thin coats at a time (3 coats should do) I am not sure though whether the paint is heat resistant. Possibly look on the Hammerite website and check the specifications.

**Q: When painting a bike, would i have to use a primer or undercoat or is would a single coat of this be fine**
A: No primer/undercoat is required. Make sure what you are painting is clean and free of oil grease etc then follow the instructions on the can. I have used this on many jobs including spraying a motorcycle frame with good results.

**Q: Can it be used on car chassis?**
A: No where near as good as the brush on type, just like a normal cheap black spray in my opinion. didnt last 2 weeks on what i used it for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for patching up car wheels
*by M***2 on 21 April 2025*

I use this to quickly patch up my car wheels and it does a great job. I just sand down the damage, cover my breaks and masking tape my tyre, then it's good to go. No primer needed, just give it a quick first coat, let it dry for half an hour then finish off with a second coat - looks good as new! Perfect for what I need and stays in place - doesn't chip away or come off in the car wash. Great value for money.
