Question Anyone had experience with Hammertone paint??

I have just bought a cage off a friend, For what I think is a bargain price ( and please dont tell me otherwise!) To help her out. And myself of course.


But, It needs to be sanded back due to surface rust, And Im not to fond of the white colour either.

My husband sugguested Hammertone paint, So I was wondering if anyone else has used this or know if it is safe.



Ive tried looking for an Ingredient list, But it isn't very clear.


I will be going to Bunnings to look at it myself and look at the ingredients, But while Im waiting thought it was worth a try

Here are some pics from last night after we picked it up, I think I will get some better pics in day light for a better "before" and "after" shots.

I've used it before, It looked good and has no lead in it.

Thanks, Now Im just hoping they have the same standards world wide for the ingredients, Since alot of the time they vary between countries.

You can ask and make sure it is lead free. It does need to sit for about 1 to 2 weeks before all the fumes are gone and the paint is totally set.
