[TheForge] thin black paint

[Roger Olsen]

I don't think hammerite fits the category of 'thin black paint'  but for
those of you who have never used it I would recommend giving it a try.
I have things that have been outside for over a decade coated with it
and still look great, where rustoleum and other exterior black paints
don't hold a candle to them.  As Lynn said it does have an interesting
wrinkle or texture finish.  I like this finish a lot some times and
sometimes it isn't right, but for exterior work I don't think you can
find a better paint.
