I for one am not impressed with Hammerite paint. It does contain a large amount of low-nobility metal (zink) and does therefore help prevent rust, but the finish suffers. As the zink corrodes the surface shine goes away and it turns dull. A better paint would be epoxy. It retains it's shine for many many years, and is very tough and durable.
