Hammercote Metal Paint Finishes Explained

Not sure which finish is right for your project? Hammercote is available in Smooth, Hammered and Satin finishes, each designed to achieve a different appearance while providing long-lasting protection for metal surfaces.

Finish	Appearance	Best for
Smooth Finish	Clean, uniform finish with a professional look	Gates, railings, structural steel and industrial metalwork where a modern appearance is required
Hammered Finish	Decorative textured effect that creates visual depth	Older metal surfaces, wrought iron, gates and railings where minor imperfections need to be disguised
Satin Finish	Subtle low-sheen finish between matt and gloss	Decorative metalwork, architectural features and railings where a softer appearance is preferred

Smooth Finish

Choose Smooth Finish if:

You want a modern appearance
The metal surface is in good condition
You are painting structural steel or industrial metalwork

Hammered Finish

Hammercote Hammered Finish creates a decorative textured effect that can help conceal surface imperfections. It is a popular choice for older gates, railings and wrought iron features where a smooth finish may highlight dents, repairs or weathering.

The metal surface is older or imperfect
You want to disguise repairs or minor defects
You prefer a decorative textured effect
