Excellent product
I bought this to cover my wheelbarrow and it's fantastic. Went on nice and smooth, dried quite quickly and has left a lovely finish.

Good product
Used this product to touch up some small areas of rust on my narrowboat roof. The original paint was Masons P type no. 446 Red Oxide, painted 11 years ago, which is difficult or impossible to obtain. Obvious slight colour difference now but hopefully will blend in over time. Good product but expensive.

Perfect for the job
Perfect to coast some rusty railings before painting them black. Staff were very helpful in showing me exactly what product I needed.

Great product, easy to apply and works well
So my balcony railings needed some attention and there was some rust here and there. I needed to get this sorted before painting so used the primer in places after rubbing down. Easy to apply and stuck to metal well. As suggested gave another coat then painted the whole railings twice. All looks great and ready for whatever winter throws at it!

Red oxide
Very good red oxide easy to apply and gives a good think coverage, only disadvantage is takes long time to dry before you can re coat

Red oxide paint
purchased for painting over a rustysteel girder. Easy to apply once loose rust scoured off. Competitive price too, as some online sources charge rip-off prices for smaller size tins,

Great product, fair price
Bought this to prime a radiator we were painting to match our walls. Great coverage and a good finish with minimal faff. Cleans out of brushes easily too!

Can't be beaten on finish a rust inhibition
This is one of the best rust treatments you can buy. On rusty steel, one coat will stop rust in it's tracks, even with no top coat. Furthermore the finish is flawless with a good quality soft brush, perfect for tractor bodywork restoration for instance. It stays the same consistency down to the bottom of the can, unlike Hammerite Rust Beater. I would buy Red Lead ahead of any other rust treatment paint.
