Duram DTM Hammered is a premium-quality, solvent-based coating specifically engineered for application directly onto metal surfaces. It combines a primer, undercoat, and topcoat into a single, high-build product that creates a distinctive, “dimpled” aesthetic. This textured finish is not only decorative but also highly effective at disguising surface imperfections, pits, and weld marks.
Key Performance Features
- Classic Hammered Finish: Specially formulated to dry with a high-gloss, metallic “hammered” pattern that gives old metal a professional, refurbished look.
- Direct-to-Metal Technology: Features advanced adhesion promoters that allow for application to steel and iron without a separate primer, saving significant time and labor.
- Active Anti-Corrosive Barrier: Formulated with rust-inhibiting additives that chemically shield the metal from moisture and oxidation, preventing rust creep.
- Excellent Surface Hiding: The textured, light-diffusing pattern is the ideal solution for covering pitted metal, rough welds, or uneven surfaces that would be highlighted by a smooth gloss paint.
Ideal Applications
- Security & Ornamental Ironwork: The gold standard for burglar bars, security gates, and ornate garden railings.
- Workshop & Industrial Equipment: Perfect for toolboxes, machinery housings, and metal lockers.
- Home Fixtures: Ideal for refreshing weathered garden furniture, post boxes, and metal light fittings.
- Substrates: Bonds powerfully to mild steel and iron. (Can be used on weathered galvanized iron after proper cleaning).
Product Benefits
- Tough & Durable: Creates a hard-wearing, impact-resistant film that stands up to the knocks and scrapes of daily use.
- UV & Weather Resistant: Engineered for outdoor durability, ensuring the metallic luster and protective qualities remain intact under the sun.
- High-Build Consistency: The thick formula provides superior edge-coverage, ensuring the sharp corners of metalwork are fully protected.
Pro Tip: For the best “hammered” effect, apply a generous coat. If the layer is too thin, the hammered pattern may not develop fully. When using a spray gun, ensure the pressure is set correctly to allow the pattern to “bloom” as it hits the surface.
