Rust-Oleum 7215502 Stops Rust Hammered Finish Brush Paint, Quart, Black

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!

I’ll start off with the hate painting because it always shows my mistakes this stuff seem to have some sort of metal flakes or something in it which gives it a somewhat rough appearance, but still very smooth and hides every little imperfection. I lightly sanded my outdoor overhang used a foam roller on flat metal. The stuff coats with one coating crazy thick, looks like it’ll be there a lot longer after the overhang is gone! I’d buy again.

This paint is beautiful! The color looks better than I imagined. Just look at the before and after.The dark brown is amazing and makes my gate look like new.

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!!

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 first used the rustoleum spray can of this same paint on our outside aluminum patio furniture. I must say that it definitely made the set look so much better after having weathered finish for so long. But after about 2 years, this paint also started to fade heavily. Since the local stores didn't have the can version of this paint, I ordered from Amazon. Well, let me tell you, after painting just the top of the table, what a difference. Again, I used the spray on some of the other parts, but when using a brush and applying from the can, the look and feel are so much better. You can tell that this will hold up so much better than the spray version. Even the hammered look is more pronounced. If you have old outside furniture that just doesn't have the look appeal anymore, I definitly recommend trying this out. It will bring everything back to life.

A large tree branch hit my metal shed and caved in the roof to some extent. It began to leak pretty bad. I didn't think this would work,but I was dead wrong. Its very thick,but spreads evenly. Once dry it has a texture kind of like ceramic,and seals really good!! I ended up not only resealing the roof of the shed with it,but I used the entire can and rolled the rest of it onto the sides and front. This small can ccovered my entire 8x10 shed with one exterior coat,sealing it nicely and looking brand new again after 10 years and rust. I will buy this again as needed.

This paint is amazing!!! I wanted a hammered finish to match a metal trellis that I had in my landscaping and it matched perfectly. The coverage and finish was exactly what I was looking for. My husband applied the paint to a pipe that was in our landscaping from the builder and he had me come and look because he was so amazed at how well it covered and how it became the hammered look, that it was described as. I highly recommend this paint. Well worth the price!
