Hammerite 5092820 Kurust, 250 ml , Blue

Product Information

Hammerite Metal Paints are specially formulated to form a tough barrier, on metal surfaces, that resists knocks and scrapes, maintaining a beautiful finish for longer. It was the first sample to show rust reappearing, and by the end of the test period the protection had almost completely disappeared from the unpainted side, and was starting to reappear on the other face too.

The fluid didn’t seem to penetrate and bond into the metal, appearing to film a skin over the top of the rust instead. However, any protection it offered was short-lived, and by the end of the test the unpainted side was almost uniformly corroded again. I have now moved this sample outside so I can see if the rust comes back, or if the Kurust has killed it off for good. But some minor surface corrosion had started to become visible on both sides of our sample by the end of our test period.

That’s why we were a little underwhelmed that the Hydrate-80 didn’t come out as the top performer here.

Hammerite paint is an extremely well-known range of products that can be used on interior and exterior metalwork. It’s not often we say we’re disappointed with a product and still give it a recommended award, but Bilt-Hamber products normally excel. Even on the bodywork a stone chip or scratch can soon grow into a nasty blister, and you need to treat rust properly to stop it spreading. Once dry, the samples were then doused daily in salty water for four weeks to encourage any corrosion to reappear.If you are treating a rust bubble on the bodywork, you will want to remove as much of the rust as possible before treating or it will soon reappear under any filler and top coat. It’s third because of its relatively poor value, but the smaller bottle could make sense if you have only a small area to treat. I believe these qualifications make me perfectly positioned to provide expert advice on many different areas of DIY as well as share all of the tips I have picked up in over a decade working on building sites! Be careful not to get it confused with the liquid equivalent though, because this had a woeful result.

Rust removal involves spending hours with a wire brush or strong acidic chemicals that are dangerous to use, so it is far easier and safer to use a rust converter. It still offers much better protection than most of the products we tested, and the coating seems tough. We suggest starting with a small amount as you should not pour any unused Kurust back into the bottle. The Kurust has definitely transformed the rust and turned it into a really solid surface for painting on.So that’s what Kurust looks like, almost a milky substance, I don’t know what I was expecting to be honest but here it is.
