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.

Really useful to cross reference to see the various colours

Advantages: Easy to see the different colors in progression with it being on large sheet

Disadvantages: None

The paint is excellent quality - perfect colour to match the ‘Record’ blue. I was super impressed with how well the paint was packaged for transit too; professionally taped following mixing, and surrounded by packing to ensure no spills or damage during delivery. 10/10, will order from here again.

Fabulous paint, covered table with one coat

Such a beautiful colour. Applies well with a brush and leave a nice finish.

Goes on nice and good colour, hardly any hammer affect though. Brush applied.

Containers delivered well packed and secure.

Advantages: Fast delivery

Disadvantages: none

My first venture into spraying.
Bought to redcoat a kitty planer and stand.. whilst not an exact match it’s close enough.

Advantages: I’ve diluted it to 10% and it seems to spray well so I haven’t diluted it anymore.
I like the hammered finish which hides a multitude of sins.
Which is why I bought it.

Top quality enamel paint. Silky smooth, fantastic finish. Very impressed.

Great service and very good quality paint.
Thank you

Advantages: Quality paint

Can't fault these paints - very easy to use in a spray gun, go on really nicely. Need the time to dry fully but that's not a failing of the paint, more my patience!

This was my first time using Paragon Paints. The whole transaction was very smooth and all timescales where met...
I will be coming back again.

So far I have only done a small test piece to check the colour. However, I found it a joy to use and it dried to a perfect finish

Dries a good bit darker than it looks in the tin which was no bad thing in my case as the enamel I was applying afterwards was a similar colour! So drying darker made it easier to see.

This colour was mixed especially for me to do a particular job and was the same top quality enamel I have come to expect from Paragon.

Really nice paint. Good quality finish.

Advantages: Easy to apply and not too thick unlike a well known competitor product. They mix about every colour available too.

Disadvantages: Cant think of any. But havent tested longevity of finish yet.

5 star product. Good delivery. Paint top quality

Great original colour

Advantages: Easy to use and drying just what it says on the tin

Good quality paint.nice finish and true to colour

Excellent product and service.

Advantages: Reliable with a great range of products.

Disadvantages: None

Excellent product was exactly as described and done the job right.

Great company to deal with, great paint and coverage with a brush but unfortunately a lot lighter than the colour on the screen I thought I was hoping for.

Advantages: Great coverage.

Disadvantages: Lighter than expected, I shouldn't have relied on the screen colour which is a guide only.

Prompt service
Very good product.

This is easily the best lacquer I have ever used.

Advantages: Easy to apply but best in warm conditions

This paint was delivered within a couple of days of my ordering it packaging perfectly adequate for this sort of product, it is exactly the correct colour that i was hoping it would be for restoring the paint work on some of my power tools, many thanks!

Advantages: Paragon is still making this thankfully!

Disadvantages: N/a
