#2: Re: paint Author: stevedude, Location: aldershotPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:24 pm ---- use enamel, its good enough for mountain bikes
#3: Re: paint Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:29 pm ---- I was going to say hammerite if your using a brush finish should look ok.
#6: Re: paint Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:45 pm ---- I guess enamel is the type of paint to use and if you do use hammerite you won't need primer as you can paint it straight onto rust for sure.
#7: Re: paint Author: stevedude, Location: aldershotPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:45 pm ---- if ya gonna use hammer, ya will need to do a couple of coats, BUT it will have to be recoated in 3 hours, or it could look like ya fingers look like after being in bath too long!
use spray enamel, so easy, and give a nice glossy coat lol, it comes in orange too

no its a type of paint, pop to halfords they have loads.
if not got ya colour look online, will need priming first thou, but thats not hard
#10: Re: paint Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:48 pm ---- ok that sounds sweat, i might just stick with hammerite then as i think halford do stock them?
#11: Re: paint Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:51 pm ---- do i have to use thinner with hammerite?
#12: Re: paint Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:53 pm ---- Nah, just straight out of the pot
About a fiver, for the last pot i bought
#13: Re: paint Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:54 pm ---- Halfords do stock them yes, around £7-8 for a smaller tin. What do you mean about thinners? It would be wise to clean the surface before painting yes.
