This link gives you data sheets for different ranges of paint, pdf format , click on hammerite & safety shet, should tell you whats what in there http://www.icipaints.co.uk/products/datasheets.jsp#hammerite Quote Link to post

Kay 3,709 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have skimmed through the hammerite smooth finnish one & i think most of the info relates to when its wet , but it sayes keep away from children so personally i wouldnt use it I am sure theres a paint that can be used safely on metal thats ok once dry, the hammerite probably is anyway but just have a scout round & see what you can find Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 on the outside of my court, which is an old METAL anderson shelter, which also forms part of the inside, of the outside run, I used exterior water based emulsion, fine once dryed, although a few of the ferrets did have green nose's where they were being nosey oh, and it painted ok onto the metal areas Quote Link to post
