A quick lick of paint
Hammerite created a new paint formulate in 2010, especially for galvanised metal. The product allows consumers to paint galvanised metal surfaces without the need for a primer. The brand says that many consumers are looking for ways to decorate large galvanised objects as consumer fashions move away from industrial looking bare metal. Hammerite Direct to Galvanised means there is no need to replace such products. It not only allows galvanised objects to be decorated easily, but also provides a long lasting coating which is touch dry in four hours. Additionally, the Direct to Galvanised formula means only one coat is needed. Hammerite Direct to Galvanised Metal Paint is also suitable for use on aluminium, copper and brass. Hammerite has been a leading brand for a quarter of a century. The Hammerite Metal care range is available in a wide selection of colours, and finishes include Hammered, Smooth and Satin.
