I've used the Hammerite hammertone paint to restore vintage 1940's and 1950's DUAL Parking Meters to their original look. I've also used it to paint the stands I built to simulate parking meter posts, for other meters. The finish is amazingly like the original vintage color. This paint dries fast and to a hard durable finish. A pleasure to work with, with professional results.
As a long time commercial fishing boat owner I've tried many rust control products,Hammerite "hammered finish"paint does a great job.For best results apply multiple thin coats.
