Hammerite satin black - It's faded!

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

I did my bonnet's upper surface in Hamerite Satin Black about two years ago. It's started to fade.

Is it the paint or is it me?

It does do that sometimes. I noticed a slight "mist" on my railings after about 2 years.

Cheers. Is there a solution without repainting?

T-cut & polish?

I think I can see the primer already - I'll test an inconspicous patch!

all satin and matt paints fade and wear.the less gloss a paint has the less durable it is.

Hamerite really is weird stuff.

Paint it again then put a lacquer on ?

Tcut and satin or Matt don't mix!!! Also did u paint it to stop shine??? Lacquer kinda defeats the object

Not mat lacquer

Use a proper paint not tins made for garden gates.
