Reasons for popularity

Initially, hammer paint was used to treat equipment for production and laboratories. At that time, there was no need to develop a wide range of coating colors, since the decorative side of this issue was unimportant. We used the most accessible pigment, so all products treated with this paint were gray in color.

The paint has gained popularity due to its high anti-corrosion properties and immunity to external influences. It is thanks to this that it has become widespread and is now used in painting gates, car parts and other metal products that are most susceptible to damage.

Quality of the painted surface

New metal surfaces require less paint. For old, previously painted substrates with traces of corrosion, careful preparation will be required. This will reduce the cost of consumable materials.

Covering power of the mixture and base color

One of the key characteristics of coloring materials is hiding power.
Paints with a high index can quickly hide the original color of a metal product, therefore, less of them will be needed. Compounds with low opacity require multiple layers to achieve perfect coverage. As for color, the chosen tone also affects the material consumption. Light-colored compounds paint the base worse, so it is necessary to apply 2-3 layers of coating. Dark formulations hide the base faster, so the consumption is less. The original color of the metal plays a role. Painting dark shades will require more layers, which means the consumption will be higher.

To calculate the required consumption of coloring material, the parameters indicated by the manufacturer on the can are important.

Additional factors affecting the costs of coatings should also be taken into account. It is possible to find out the exact costs of paint and varnish material for metal per 1 m² only by test painting. For an approximate calculation, you should use a simple formula: multiply the surface area by the number of layers and multiply by the material consumption from the manufacturer.

Composition and distinctive features

Hammer paint is designed to protect metal products used in industry, production and other areas where they are constantly exposed. Alkyd and epoxy substances are used for its manufacture, which provides exceptional characteristics.

The silicone resins and metal pigments included in the composition guarantee unique durability, ease of application and excellent adhesion to the surface. Due to these components, the density of the paint increases significantly and anti-corrosion properties are achieved.

The strength of the coating is further increased by the fillers present in the composition: fine glass, aluminum powder and others. Thanks to this, not only is the surface durability achieved and adhesion is increased, but also a unique texture is obtained, similar to hand-chasing metal. That is why this product has the property of masking minor defects of the treated surface. Various silicones and “aluminum flakes” are also added to it, which together help improve the texture and increase the ability to repel moisture.

Hameraite paint, technical specifications

Hamerait paint consumption is 1 liter per 5 sq.m. When applying two coats, to achieve the recommended dry film thickness of 100 microns. The paint can be applied with a brush (preferably a thick one) or by spraying; when spraying, the paint should be diluted with Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners in a ratio of up to 2:1; (if applied with a roller, the paint/solvent ratio is 9:1). The paint must be applied in a thick layer.

Hamerite paint cannot be mixed with any other paints!

Primer enamel for metal and rust Hamerite is produced in metal cans with a volume of 0.25 l; 0.75l; 2.5l; 5l and 20l. There is a certificate for the paint. It cannot withstand long-term storage and transportation at low temperatures. If you want to save paint that you haven't used completely, tightly cover the jar and turn it upside down, and then place it in a dry, well-ventilated place away from heat sources, but not in the cold.

Hammer paint colors

Hammer paints serve primarily for protection rather than decoration, so they were originally produced in black and gray. The market dictates its conditions and manufacturers began to include colored pigments in the composition of the material, which expanded the color palette. But the metallic luster and texture of the painted surface impose certain restrictions on the color of the product range - these are mainly dark and pastel colors, although if desired, you can get absolutely any shade.


Hammerite paint color palette with hammer effect

Most manufacturers produce the following popular shades:

  • black;
  • grey;
  • silver gray;
  • brown;
  • red;
  • copper;
  • golden;
  • Navy blue;
  • blue;
  • dark green;
  • light green.

What tool is used

The method of applying paintwork plays an important role in calculating consumption; for example, brushes are considered the most wasteful.
The paint remains on the fluff and drips onto the floor. It is quite difficult to apply the coating evenly. An expensive but economical option is to use a spray gun. With its help, you can control the consumption of the coloring agent, make the layer even, without smudges or omissions. The installation itself is expensive, but you can save on paint consumption.

If the spray option is not suitable, professionals advise using a silicone-based roller. The tool will reduce paint consumption. And when you combine a roller with a special tray with ribbed edges, you can reduce costs even more.

Main advantages

This material is characterized by a considerable number of advantages. Most of them he owes to his composition:

  1. One of the leading characteristics is the coating’s resistance to temperature changes - it can withstand heating up to +80 °C.
  2. In the event that hammer paint is to be applied to a surface covered with rust, there is no need to clean and prime it in advance. This simplifies the painting process.
  3. Another advantage is the quick drying of the composition. Aerosol is considered the fastest. Within two hours after application, the coating will harden and there will be no stickiness left on it. This property is especially important when processing car bodies and daily used gates.
  4. A high degree of resistance to external influences - temperature changes and high air humidity, as well as immunity to vibration vibrations - determine the use of this paint for treating the surfaces of equipment, garage doors, metal parts of fences and other domestic buildings.
  5. Hammer paint guarantees protection of steel from corrosion for up to 8 years.
  6. Special heat-resistant types of this product have been developed. However, they are still inferior to special fire-resistant compounds for painting metal, which are widely used in painting fireproof cabinets and armored doors.
  7. Hammer enamel is absolutely safe for humans and, after complete drying, does not emit any harmful substances. It is devoid of the unpleasant odor characteristic of many other paints and varnishes. These conditions allow you to freely use it for interior work.
  8. Application is possible in various ways: brush, roller, aerosol. Although the latter option is more expensive, since it does not allow you to regulate the flow rate per 1 m2.
  9. The wide range of colors of this paint allows you to choose the necessary shade for painting any product - from garage doors to car bodies and metal racks.
  10. Manufacturing companies assure that the treated surface will not lose its color for at least three years.
  11. Garage doors treated with a hammer-type coating will be much less susceptible to contamination than those coated with ordinary metal paint. Paint consumption is approximately the same.

Hamerite rust paint: application

The nuances of painting metal are described in the article What and how to paint metal correctly?

It is not recommended to apply Hammerite paint directly to wood and some types of plastic. Primer enamel for metal and rust. Hammerite can be applied to plastic only as a decorative coating and then only for the type of plastic that is used for the production of waste pipes and drains, because All other types of plastic may not be compatible with Hammerite Brush Cleaner Thinners and will cause significant difficulties during application.

Hammerite metal and rust paint is excellent for painting metal pipes, garden furniture, safes, doors, grilles, fences, gates and various metal fences.

Look at the photo of the house located in the village of Petrukhino. The building's drainpipes were painted with two coats of Hammerite paint.

Hammerite paint is based on synthetic resins. The paint coating has dirt-repellent properties. Hamerite primer enamel for metal and rust is resistant to UV rays and retains its shine for at least three years. It can withstand temperatures of 80°C for a long time and up to 150°C for a short time.

The paint combines rust neutralizers, primer and alkyd enamel, can be applied directly over rust and dries extremely quickly in air. Due to the fast drying time, the next coat of paint can be applied after the previous one has dried to touch, the application of the subsequent coat of Hammerite metal and rust paint should be done no later than three hours from the application of the previous coat or after two weeks. Full curing occurs after 6 weeks.

Scope of use

Due to its exclusive qualities, hammer enamel is widely used in various areas of production. It is used to cover numerous types of structures:

  • industrial equipment and machine bodies;
  • electrical panels and specialized devices;
  • metal building structures;
  • safes, metal cabinets, shelving and various office furniture;
  • fences and gates;
  • Painting with hammer paint is often used to decorate products made of glass, hard plastic and tiles.

How to use correctly

Since this coating is used in various fields and is used to treat numerous types of surfaces, including rust-coated metal, the painting technique may differ in different situations. It is better to read the instructions explaining how to paint with hammer paint in cases that occur most often.

First of all, the product must be properly prepared.

If the metal is new, then before starting work it is necessary to get rid of the layer of factory grease present on the surface.

To do this, it is thoroughly washed at least twice using a solvent - most often white spirit is used. After this, wipe thoroughly with acetone. If the product is very smooth, it is recommended to sand it to facilitate adhesion to the coating.

When painting with your own hands elements that already have paint and varnish material on them, it is better to first remove the lagging parts, then wash with a weak solution of washing powder and clean water, and then dry.

To decorate galvanized, aluminum or cast iron elements, you must first apply enamel primer. This must also be done when preparing copper, tin, and lead products.

Before painting a wooden surface, it is better to also treat it with acrylic primer-enamel so that the composition does not penetrate into the pores, which will lead to a violation of the texture.

Consumption rates depending on the type of metal paints


The manufacturer's information will help you make the correct calculation of enamel consumption.
The manufacturer's information will help you make the correct calculation of enamel consumption. Each type of paint for metal work has a different thickness, elasticity and hiding power, which affects consumption rates. To determine the required amount, use a calculator to multiply the consumption per m² by the area of ​​the surface to be painted and the number of layers. The following average figures for different types of coloring materials will simplify the procedure.

Important! 5% should be added to the resulting amount to avoid a lack of coloring composition when dyeing

Oil paint

When using oil paint, it is important to take into account the topography of the base when calculating the area. The color of the enamel also has a significant impact, since light colors are applied in 2-3 layers, which will increase the cost per meter of surface. The average consumption of oil paint per 1 m² is 130-140 g. for each layer.

Primer-enamel

An effective multifunctional product for interior and exterior painting – enamel primer. The coating acts as a primer and can transform rust on metal. Primer enamel is also a decorative layer. An average of 80-120 grams is spent per 1 m². material. To create a good protective layer against rust, the composition should be applied in several passes, which will affect costs.

Enamel PF-115

The composition based on alkyd resins is popular due to its fast drying speed and versatility. The paint consumption per 1 m² is affected by the degree of preparation of the base and the chosen shade. Light coloring compounds should be applied in several layers. According to professionals, a kilogram container is enough to paint 15 m². The consumption rate of PF-115 paint is 100-180 g. per square meter.

Powder paint

A special type of coloring materials, which differs in quality characteristics and application method. This affects material consumption. Powder dyes are designed to create a super-durable coating, so there are requirements for the thickness of the applied layer. It must be at least 100 microns. The weight of the mixture should also be taken into account. Less weight means less costs. Powder paint consumption per 1 m² for metal is 120-140 g.

Hammer paint

An expensive type of paint and varnish materials, which are often used for painting metal surfaces. The cost is due to its high protective qualities. With this composition you can reliably protect metal from rust. The coating resembles embossing in appearance. Paint consumption per 1 m² of metal is 100 ml.

Rubber paint

When applied to a metal surface, rubber paints and varnishes form an elastic coating resembling rubber. A layer of coloring composition effectively protects the metal from negative external influences. The cost of such products is high, the consumption is also increased to 200 ml per m². Such paints and varnishes are used for painting small surfaces that require special protection.

Acrylic paint

Painting materials based on acrylates have high protective characteristics. This coating is fireproof, weatherproof, and has a long service life. On average, 120-180 grams are used per 1 m². acrylic paint.
