Review on 6 Pack Of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Hammered Gray Spray Paint, 12 Oz Cans by Tyler Ramey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Hammered Matte Black: Looks Great! (but not quite black)

Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the hammered matte black color. I’ve used their "hammered” metallic products before, just not this color. My goal was to upcycle these 4 exterior lights with a fresh paint job. I forgot to take before pics, but you can kind of see the original color where my hand is holding the light. I was going for a hammered wrought iron look, and one can was plenty to do 2-3 coats on four of these lights. (I am near the end of the can, though, enough left for touch ups). The color came out more of a very dark gunmetal gray, than black, but it still looks FANTASTIC. I took one star off because I would’ve preferred a darker black, slightly less of a sheen, and more hammered texture. But I’ll be buying more, since I want to match the door hardware to these lovely upcycled lights!

Pros
  • Dries to touch in 2 to 4 hours and covers up to 15 sq ft
Cons
  • Might not dry evenly
