Paragon Hammered Finish - Dark Grey

I spray about 250 small parts every year and need to find a new source for Hammer finish paint because the previous supplier ceased.

This paint is not quite like other Hammer finish I've used. Usually it seems to be a mixture of two slightly different shades that then separate a bit to make the hammer effect

It's quite hard with this to get an even effect with this because it needs to be sprayed very evenly.

But this paint seems to just be all one shade and the hammer effect comes from using two different solvents, I would guess.

I have to spray vertical surfaces to be economic and this makes runs more likely


Advantages: I got an even effect on the first try with this paint.

I had no problem with runs on my first try. The solvent seemed to go very quickly and this stablised the paint.

I sprayed three coats leaving each to just get tacky. This built up quite nicely.

I'm looking for a copy of a well known colour because I am restoring parts. This turned out well.

I say this stuff is easy to use compared to others I've tried

Disadvantages: I got "hammer" effect but it's not quite so pretty as other paint I've used. Very even colouring, just a bit boring.

The nozzle makes quite a big fan compared to other stuff I've used. Not ideal for me because my parts are about the size of your fist. Be fine on a bigger area.

Fabulous paint, covered table with one coat

Excellent product, great finish and quick drying. Service was 100%

Advantages: Quick drying time

Perfect match for what I was painting! Shall definitely purchase again. Great fan and quality paint.

A great colour range of hammered finish paints, in fact the best range out there. The finish is also top drawer.
