gradeAfailure 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Noticed the other day that the black paint on my sill was cracked in a couple of places (possibly in part to me putting the trolley jack sliiiiiiiiiiightly too near the centre of the sill :oops:) - is there any specific paint I can use that will have the same texture/finish? Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted May 30, 2005 I think the people who mate Waxoil (maybe Hammerite) do a kit for this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted May 30, 2005 would you not need to use that slightly rubbery effect paint that helps prevents stonechips too??? (if thats called waxoil or hammerite, sorry for adding this bit) i do kno you can find that paint easily at paint shops for bodywork or motor factors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzyvr6 0 Posted May 31, 2005 you can buy stonechip spray in a can from halfords which is used on sills Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 31, 2005 The stuff used at the factory is a 3M rubberised primer/seam sealer....but it's rollered on to get that mottled effect. Is mottled a word? LOL! Nothing in a can will be tough enough, although 3M do do it in a can, you need loads of coats and ironically, it doesn't like curing in thick coats. I'd get some 'Greystripe' seam sealer from Halfrauds and roller it on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted June 1, 2005 I used Hammerite on the Golf - "mottled" effect. Lasted years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
