> Some hammer paints (e.g. byHammerite) are formulated to be usable directly on rusted steel without surface preparation other than brushing to remove the loose rust.
>Beyond that, the resistance of the mica improves the durability of the paint job. The mica reduces aging by protecting the underlying binders fromUV radiation. The mica also makes hammer paint relatively hard and scratch resistant.
So is there anything bad about this?

hammertone.

Hammertone, something the offroad/suspension scene has used for a long, long time.
Nothing new here.

There's a rust-o-leum spray paint hammertone at home depot that's an exact match.
