Philuk 0 Posted January 30, 2015 Btw the Hammerite spray is appalling when it's really cold, I ended up with it sat infront of the heater before using it outside and then back infront of the heater, if it's a part you won't see it might be worth using a good brush and some Hammerite brush on smoothrite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks phill for the parn number , yea the spray was terrible !! Managed to get a couple of coats on and then decided once that was dry id just hammer smooth it with a brush ! It reacted like nitromorz and now i have to start from scratch !! Told you i was having a bad day haha oh well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
