Metal Paint

Protect and refresh railings, gates, garden furniture and radiators with metal paint from Hammerite, Rustins, Ronseal, Johnstone's and 151 Coatings. The range includes Hammerite metal paint in smooth and hammered styles, a direct to rust option, Ronseal Direct to Metal in several colours, rust remover gel and Rustins high heat paint.

For radiators, choose a white radiator paint or black radiator paint made for heated surfaces, and let the radiator cool fully before you start. Black metal paint and black Hammerite paint are popular on gates and fences, while white metal paint and white gloss paint suit window frames and pipework. A white matt paint gives a flat modern look on indoor metal.

Prepare first. Wire brush loose rust, wipe away dirt and grease, and sand glossy old paint. Rust remover gel helps on pitted areas before painting. Apply thin coats, brushing in one direction, and allow each coat to dry fully for the best protection.
