What is a ‘Hammered Finish'?
Hammered finish paint, hammer paint or hammertone as it is commonly referred to, is a specialist coating with a surface that looks like hammered metal once it is dry. A hammered coating looks as though it has been attacked with a hammer, without damaging the paint or the substrate. It is popular for railings, garden furniture, radiators, gates and a whole host of other metal surfaces.
More about Hammertone Hammered Finish Paints
Hammered finish paint can be applied by brush, roller or spray and is available in aerosol form too, for those of you who prefer this type of application.
Hammertone coatings are extremely versatile, suitable for metal and can be used on items such as trailers, metal surfaces, radiators and garden furniture, providing a fast drying, durable surface that resists rust well. They can also be applied directly to rust, although it's recommended to prepare the surface first for a better, longer lasting coating.
As well as providing a decorative, corrosion resistant coating for metal, hammered finish paint can also be applied to certain plastics and wood.

What is Hammered Finish Paint?
Hammered finish paint, sometimes referred to as hammerite direct or hammertone, dries with a hammered effect, creating a textured look similar to hammered metal. This type of paint is ideal for restoring garden furniture, gates, railings, trailers and radiators. The hammered coating provides extra protection against corrosion while also improving the appearance of metal surfaces and hiding any surface imperfections.
Our hammered paints are also versatile enough to be applied directly to wood and aluminium, as well as non ferrous metals, ensuring that various materials can be adequately covered with a durable finish.
How to Apply Hammered Finish Paint
Hammered finish paint is easy to apply by brush application, roller or spray. Before use, lightly stir or mix vigorously to achieve a consistent texture. It is important to apply thin coats and avoid over-applying to maintain the hammered effect. Preparing the surface properly ensures that the paint bonds well; surfaces should be cleaned, free from loose rust and in sound condition before painting. Some products like hammerite direct to rust allow you to skip using a separate primer. If inhaled, remove the affected person to fresh air immediately to ensure safety.
Whether you are treating old rust metal paint, working on previously painted metal, or starting fresh, hammered finish paint provides a reliable protective coating that lasts.
