ICI 5084867 5L Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint - Black

I bought this tin a few months back, was waiting for some warm weather (Aug '26) to do my mini project on metal restoration - I done the usual prep (wire brush) and just applied two thin coats of this stuff. Initial impression of the first coat was very good - it almost as if it was attracting the bonding to the rusted part and it seems to self-level when you apply it - so just don't over saturate the first layer! It formed minimal tack (around 10-15 min) where I applied a second thin coat (this was done late evening). Next morning around (10 hours lapse) it was bone dry. Very pleased with the results. I bought the smooth black and in my opinion it was as it states on the tin. Happy customer!

This paint works brilliantly on the metal above the outside of my window frames. The white finish makes the windows look much brighter and fresher. It dires smooth and glossy so it blended in well with the frames. I applied it with a paint brush directly from the can. Oddly, it was thick to apply but still dripped off the brush somewhat frequently but it was easy to get a consistent covering after two coats. Despite using white spirit to clean the bruch afterwards, it still dried hard, so use a brush with the expectation of throwing it away afterwards.

Just used this to paint a 20 foot shipping container and needed 4 tins of this stuff (and 12 man/woman hours). For our container it only needed one coat of paint all round, and then a bit of touching up. We found that Amazon had the cheapest prices all round.This paint is very thick, so make sure that you use a good gloss brush where you know that the bristles won't fall out. Also make sure that you have some good thick rubber gloves to protect you from the paint.We were painting in autumn, so if the weather was a bit warmer then may be the paint would appear thinner and apply better. Once on the surface this paint does appear to run quite easily, but we really had to slap it on to make sure we covered all the rust. It really was like painting with treacle. That said, the paint had dried within an hour and the rain just appeared as globules on the surface.Close up the finish isn't perfect, a few runs etc. From a distance it looks great and now it is protected from the weather for 8 years.Some people have said that you need specialist cleaning products .... we didn't. Good old White Spirit did the trick here.The instructions on the tin say that you can use thinners with the paint and then use a spray gun. However, to get the same coating you would need to spray 4 coats. In a gale force wind with autumn storms that wasn't appropriate for our use.So why 4 Stars?It would have been 5 - excellent finish and does the required job. We've deducted a star for it being so thick and sometimes difficult to slap on. However we do have a good end result and the container only needed one coat!All in all, we are very please with the finish that this product gave us. We have a shiny new container.Packaging Warning:My first tin of this paint was ordered from another supplier via Amazon. The packaging was excellent, the tin was sealed with tape and the tin itself was covered in bubble wrap. The box was the correct size. Brilliant.I reordered a second tin direct from Amazon using Amazon Prime. The first Amazon tin wasn't delivered as it "was damaged in transit". I had to collect the second Amazon tin and that was damaged too. The tin had been placed in a large cardboard box with a bit of brown paper stuffed in for good measure. When I opened the box, the box was Dark Green inside along with a bashed and leaking tin. I presumed the same fate had befallen the previous tin.

A winner 🏆 Did the job well and price also was good.

Nice finish

I bought this for my bird bath that started to rust. When I bought the bath it said it didn’t rust as it was copper but it was a lie and after a few months it started to rust. I didn’t want to throw it away as it’s still new so I decided to clean it and get anti rust paint. This one is very good, I like the colour too especially with the water. I had to give it two coats of paint and it drys quickly, especially in this heat. Very good quality, easy to apply and coverage is very good. Small tin but it has a lot, you don’t need to use much.

This was what the picture showed and was what I wanted not like the other one I bought that showed it was green but wrong colour was send and I couldn't be bothered to go to the hassle of returning it . Colour was grey instead of the green I applied for .the blue was great no problems at all

excellent quality as expected from Hammerite, Easy to apply and I am happy with my newly painted garden furniture.

For the price, you think you're getting a quart... nope, it's 8 ounces, going to need 5 or 6 cans to get our wrought iron fence done... BUT, it's so easy to apply (it is very thick), and the results are fantastic. Our old fence got a major face-lift. The other alternatives for repair would have been more time consuming and more expensive, so this was a great solution. Hoping it really holds up 8 years as promised

La vernice si presenta particolarmente densa, tipo gel, e la stesura risulta difficoltosa con il pennello visto che le istruzioni consigliano di non diluire il prodotto. La resa dichiarata del prodotto è di 5 mq/litro ma dipende soprattutto dallo spessore delle mani date. Viene consigliato uno spessore di 40 micron per mano ma mi sembra eccessivo. La mia resa effettiva, a pennello, è stata circa il doppio.Su superfici nuove o carteggiate portandole al nuovo, consiglio una prima mano di fondo per favorire la presa della vernice. Consiglio comunque 2 mani per un risultato ottimale.Come da istruzioni, l'asciugatura è rapida e già dopo due ore la vernice non "attaccava più. Per la mano succassiva ho atteso 24 ore anche se le istruzioni riportavano 4 ore.Il colore asciutto è conforme a quanto acquistato. La finitura non è oro "lucidato" ma oro "ossidato", più scuro.Per la pulizia dei pennelli ho usato diluente universale.

Parfait, très résistant
