HammerPaint

I have a very large metal fence which needs painting. I would prefer to buy a 5 litre tin of Hammerite black hammered paint. Where are the cheapest and best places / website to find it ? I think B & Q was about £50 ( I was hoping that might have a some sort of sale on their paint sometime) . Any other ideas ?

    Screwfix now do Hammerite I think. Also try some paint trade centres like Crown, Dulux, Johnstones but not all of them will do Hammerite because of ownership/trade arrangements.

    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    5ltr of hammerite will set you back a good few quid, it aint cheap. There are cheaper paints suitable for metal but they will need more preperation. Also, if hammerite has been used before then ordinary paints won't stick to it


    As above, try a specialist paint shop or see what size wickes do their o/b in
