Hammerite

Hammerite Metal Paint and Metal Care Products

Hammerite is a well-known range of paints and treatments for protecting, restoring and decorating metal surfaces. The range includes direct-to-rust metal paints, smooth and hammered finishes, aerosols, specialist high-temperature paints, primers and rust treatment products.

At Priory Polishes, our Hammerite range includes products for a variety of interior and exterior metal projects, from garden furniture and railings to gates, garage doors, fireplaces and other suitable metalwork.

Hammerite Metal Paint

Hammerite Metal Paint is available in a choice of colours and finishes for suitable metal surfaces. The range includes smooth and hammered finishes, allowing you to choose between a more traditional smooth painted appearance or a textured finish that can help disguise minor surface imperfections.

Hammerite Direct to Rust formulations are designed for application to suitable rusty metal once loose rust and other surface contamination have been removed. Always follow the preparation and application instructions for the particular product.

Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint

Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint provides a smooth, glossy finish and is available in a selection of colours. It can be used on suitable metal surfaces and is available in both brush-on and aerosol formats.

Hammerite Aerosol Metal Paint provides a convenient option for smaller or more detailed metalwork where an even spray finish is required. The aerosol range includes a selection of colours such as black, white, silver, red, blue, green and gold.

Hammerite Hammered Metal Paint

Hammerite Hammered Metal Paint produces a distinctive textured finish. The hammered appearance can be particularly useful on metal surfaces where you want a decorative finish that is less uniform than a smooth paint.

As with any metal coating, preparation is important. Remove loose rust, dirt, grease and flaking material and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular surface.

Hammerite Ultima Metal Paint

Hammerite Ultima is a modern metal paint available in smooth and matt finishes. It provides another option for protecting and decorating suitable metal surfaces and is available in a selection of colours.

Hammerite Ultima is designed to be easy to apply and, depending on the product, can be used without a separate primer or undercoat. Always check the individual product instructions for the surface you are treating.

Hammerite High Heat and Barbecue Paint

For metal surfaces exposed to higher temperatures, our range includes Hammerite High Heat Paint and Hammerite Barbecue Paint. These specialist products are available in matt black and are formulated for suitable high-temperature applications.

Do not assume that a standard metal paint is suitable for a high-temperature surface. Always choose a product specifically intended for the temperature and application involved and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Hammerite Metal Primer

Hammerite Red Oxide Metal Primer provides a protective base coat for suitable iron and steel surfaces, including bare and rusty metal. It can be used on interior and exterior metal and can be overcoated with compatible Hammerite metal paint.

Using an appropriate primer can be particularly useful where the surface requires additional preparation or where the chosen topcoat specifies a primer as part of the system.

Hammerite Rust Remover

Hammerite Rust Remover is available in gel and dip formulations for treating suitable rusty metal before painting or refinishing. Removing loose and unwanted rust is an important part of preparing metal for a new protective coating.

The appropriate formulation will depend on the size, shape and condition of the item being treated. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, contact time, rinsing and subsequent preparation.

Hammerite Brush Cleaner and Thinner

Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinner is designed for cleaning brushes and equipment used with Hammerite paints. It can also be used for cleaning suitable spills and removing dirt, grime and loose contamination as specified by the manufacturer.

Use the recommended cleaner or thinner for the particular Hammerite paint rather than assuming that a general-purpose solvent is suitable.

Hammerite Paint for Gates, Railings and Garden Furniture

Hammerite metal paint can be used for a wide range of suitable exterior metalwork, including gates, railings and metal garden furniture. Choosing the correct finish allows you to refresh the appearance of existing metal while providing a suitable protective coating.

For exterior projects, make sure the surface is properly prepared and that the selected Hammerite product is suitable for the particular metal and conditions in which it will be used.

Choosing the Right Hammerite Product

The best Hammerite paint depends on the metal surface, its condition, the required finish and whether the item will be exposed to heat or outdoor conditions.

For a traditional smooth appearance, consider Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint. For a textured finish, Hammerite Hammered Metal Paint is an alternative. Hammerite aerosols are useful for spray applications, while Ultima provides another modern metal-paint option. Rusty iron and steel may require suitable preparation or primer, while high-temperature surfaces require a specialist heat-resistant product.

Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before use, particularly regarding surface preparation, compatibility, drying times and the suitability of the product for the intended application.
