Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint - Smooth Black Finish 250ML, 5084863

If your garage door is looking a little sad and weather-beaten, Hammerite Oxford Blue Garage Door Paint is here to bring it back to life. This isn’t just any old paint, it’s tough, glossy, and built to last, like a fresh suit of armor for your garage.First off, the color. Oxford Blue is a deep, rich blue that looks bold without being too in-your-face. It’s got that classy, almost regal feel, like your garage door is about to start making royal decrees. And once it dries? That glossy finish makes it look brand new, as if you’ve just installed a fancy new door rather than given it a fresh coat.Application is pretty straightforward. It goes on smoothly, but it’s thick, so don’t go overboard on the brush or roller unless you want drips. One coat can sometimes be enough, but if you’re covering a lighter color, two will do the trick. The best part? No primer needed, this stuff grips metal surfaces like a pro.Durability-wise, Hammerite lives up to its reputation. It’s weather-resistant, meaning rain, sun, and the occasional football bouncing off the door won’t chip away at it. Plus, it helps prevent rust, which is a huge win if your garage door has seen better days.Downsides? Well, it takes a while to fully dry, so patience is key. Also, once you open the tin, the smell reminds you that this is serious, industrial-strength paint, not the kind you want to use in a closed space without ventilation.Overall, if you want a garage door that looks sharp, stays protected, and holds up against the elements, this is a solid pick. The Oxford Blue shade is deep, bold, and durable, and the glossy finish gives your garage that fresh, just-painted look for ages. Highly recommended for a quick and dramatic and durable upgrade.

Wanted a smaller tin of metal paint and having used Hammerite before and it's good quality, it was a question of finding a tin at a good price, which this purchase was. Though the instructions suggest can be put onto rusty metal and just needs a 'clean up' from dust, grease etc, I've always given things a 'wet and dry', clean with white spirits and paint. Always had good results, have to say here, I'm not a professional or anything, just my thoughts! But 2-3 coats and great finish. Good value and order to delivery, was very good.

Looks good nice colour. Freshly painted. Will purchase again if I need to.

Small tin, however, you don’t need a lot. Good quality and competitively priced.

Excellent quality and so easy to use. Great result.
