    Ronseal also do a smooth hammerite type paint unsure of the colours although I do have a dark green paint I got to paint on inside some guttering and you can paint it on rust. I could only find green and white in the store

    If you use ronseal type paint above or Hammerite is cheaper to use cheap brushes they use there cellulose thinners to clean brushes up

    ...i found a tin of dark green hammerite in the garage that i'd used to spruce up a garden ornament, and thought...this looks quite good. so i used the hammerite on the table and it's come out really well. the hammered finish tends to hide any brushmarks, and you don't need to use a primer.
