How does Hammerite perform on the road? 

At Halfords, we offer many Hammerite paints that are great for protecting your car from damp, rust, and chips. Receive heavy duty protection for the most high-impact areas of your vehicle as the non-cracking formula performs as the first line of defence against stones and debris.  

Or perhaps you should offer your car a flexible, all-weather resistant skin resilient against pooling water, dampness and rust. Hammerite can even lengthen the lifespan of your vehicle as it protects the underbody from general wear and tear. 

Features and benefits: 

  • Non-stop 24/7 anti-rust protection, for up to 12 years. 
  • Non-drip formula for a clean, controlled application. 
  • All-weather resistant performance resilient against cracking, peeling and flaking.
  • Apply straight to rust, no primer required (dependent on paint type).

How to apply Hammerite paint: 

You can easily apply most Hammerite paints to both rusty and non-rusty surfaces. However, it’s still a good idea to prepare your surfaces, prior to application. We’d recommend that you remove all loose flakes of paint and rust with a wire brush. 

Apply a test patch of paint to the surfaces to check for compatibility. If there is an unusual reaction like bubbling, you should remove the paint. 

When it comes to application, you should use a small brush for tight corners and a roller for large surfaces. Start at the top and steadily work your way down using short and light strokes. Check that the first coat is dry before you start to apply the next. 

Sit back and enjoy a weather-resistant, long-lasting and stunning finish! 


So, why not take on that DIY project in the garden that you’ve been meaning to start? Or maybe it’s time to give your car a new lease of life? Whatever your needs, revitalise all metalwork and destroy rust with our Hammerite range and enjoy the difference for years to come!
