7215502-2PK Stops Rust Hammered Finish Paint, Quart, Black, (Pack of 2)

This paint is fantastic for painting any kind of indoor or outdoor ironwork. It paints right over rusted metal without the need of a primer and leaves a fantastic glistening coating that has an unusual but wonderful texture effect. I don't know how they do it but we love it for painting porch or balcony wrought iron, security bars, front-porch benches, interior iron-work, etc. The color is fantastic and better looking than the sprayed-on thing of the same color. This is the paint and I have re-bought it now two more times. You must be quick, however, as it is fast drying and you need to be through painting within 4 hours or wait a full week for tough-up, etc. One coat is all I ever needed painting over black or bronze ironwork. It goes on thick and covers well in one coat. Just keep the used paint brushes in a plastic baggie in the freezer and you can use them again with the next item to be painted! You get a $200.00 paint job with a $20.00 can of paint!

When we got our house, the previous owner had painted the stair railing, but I guess he got tired or lazy because he stopped partway up and so we had 2 or 3 different colors on our stairs (and all badly painted, so there were drip marks and all kinds of other unsightly things). So we decided to paint the stair railings, and I chose this paint because of the good reviews. I also thought that the hammered finish would cover up the unsightly texture underneath. We did a light sanding and cleaned the stairs well and then got to work. It took two coats and a lot of ventilation (it really smelled for 3-4 days, even though we left the door open for long periods of time and had fans blowing the air out). It came out great - we are very happy with the results! It was pretty easy to put on - follow the directions and you'll be fine. We were a bit worried at first that there were areas that didn't seem to go on smoothly, but it evened out on it's own and at the end of the second coat it looks like a strong, durable finish. I am very happy and the stairs look lovely now.

I love this paint and this color is awesome.

I used this to paint an antique cast iron tub in the house we just bought. The tub was a dirty, yellowish color with a rough outside that had some rust. This paint is amazing. The black looks excellent and the hammered finish covers any surface imperfections and instead makes it look chic and custom, and new! Dont backbrush, i used a brush to paint and there are no stroke marks. Just use a good amount on your brush and work in small sections brushing in one direction, or you won't get the hammered texture. Also, do the two coats! The texture and coverage is amazing after two coats so don't get discouraged if it looks wonky after only one coat. Plus the dry time between coats is only 30 mins. I waited 45 because i needed a break from the fumes. The only reason i gave 4/5 stars is the fumes are gnarly so do yourself a favor and make sure you have proper ventilation!! Open windows, fans, etc or do outside if you can. I finished two hours ago and even with the bathroom fan on and window wide open its brutal in there. I put bowls of baking soda and bowls of vinegar in there to absorb the smell and it has taken the edge off. Amazing paint. It has a semi gloss sheen to it when it dries and dries dark black even though the liquid paibt looks gun metal grey before applying. It also thickens up so put the lid back on and work from a paint cup, keep your brush moist with paint or it will dry out and be useless. I also had to throw out my brushes after so don't use expensive fancy brushes if that bothers you. This paint gave my antique cast iron tub new life and an awesome country rustic chic vibe, while protecting it against rust. Oh and it only took half this little can to do two coats on the tub, bonus!!

I’ve been using this color on my shop tables for awhile and when I decided to make a new project table I went and picked up some more of this color. It seems right now like this silver is harder to find then the other hammered options. I’m happy with the looks and past performance. I took the time to refresh my other tables since I was painting the new one.

I have used this stuff for many many years,it's great and durable.

This hammered copper paint was just what we wanted! It was easy to work with, looks genuinely like hammered copper, it’s the perfect shade of copper, and was a perfect application for the steel stair rails! We also used it on wood—diluted it somewhat and got the perfect lighter colour with the same hammered texture. I searched many outlets for copper paint in a can—found lots of copper spray paint, but this was the ONLY can of hammered coppered I could find. To say we are pleased with the product would be an understatement…I would highly recommend this paint to anyone desiring a genuine hammered copper finish! Copper is enjoying time in the spotlight currently and I love the look with all The popular browns, tans, golds, rust etc… Sincerely EM Caines, NL Canada

I used it for coating a wooden rack I made for my truck bed. Covered in one coat without primer. Held up over a year so far and has been outside all year. Love the look and the color matches my truck. It calls for xylene to clean brush. I only recommend using a old or new disposable brush to save money on xylene.

Amazing finish… used for wooden railing of staircase as well as fireplace mantel. Great results. Good coverage as well.

great Copper colour. my stairs rail looks great

applied today to split and rotten wood around garden. Looks great, exactly the color on the lid. Used copper and has nice sheen to it. covered well
