Hammerite Primer - Red Oxide. Metal Primer for Garden Furniture, Radiator and Fence Paint. Rust Inhibitor and Rust Treatment for Metal, Interior and Exterior Use - 500ml

Well known make, used for many years and is my go to for a base metal coating......excellent adhesion and coverage.

Really good paint went on well and provides an excellent coat. Used on top of rust inhibitor and also finished it off with a lacquer.

Goes on very nicely but would y recommend for delicate pieces due to it being quite thick. Does go on a bit like a plastic coat so not good if you want to keep a metallic feeling to it.Overall good for weatherproofing

Great reassurance for any metal undercoat especially for classic cars. The best method I use is to thin the red oxide down and use a spray gun doing thin layers at a time. Build up lightly to however many coats you like then I use bitumen paint as a top coat. Firstly, get the rust off and treat it with some rust remover then apply the build of oxide as you wish then what ever top coat you fancy. Things will last you many years to come if you do a good job and take your time. I recommend Hammarite oxide primer for the durability and has work for me for years with fantastic results. The prep work is key, wouldn't just paint over rust, couldn't live with that. 100% + 5 stars from me. Great service too. Tin arrived in perfect condition..Thank you.

Good quality product at a very good price

it's okay everything looks great

I used this to prime a very tired garage door (see photo). It is quite 'sticky' but covers a multitude of sins. The tin was more than adequate to do the entire door, which was prepped with a quick rub down with a wire brush.

I have always sworn on the Red Oxide for bare metal as a rust inhibitor, this does the job and seems good value.
