Hammerite and a brush?

I would suggest (rattlecan) etch primimg before painting, else the paint is likely to flake off in the future....can't for the life of me see how Waxoyl would work.....

Looking forward to how this thread goes as i've been thinking of doing the same myself.
Etch primer seems to be a must but not sure on the top coat, thinking of using a roller though as i'm sure i can get a good finish with this

You using a etch primer or epoxy primer first?

What about using t wash? Like what you would use on a galv chassis then etch prime it

No need, Etch primer or epoxy primer will suffice.

Using etch primer, you only really need a dusting just to key to the surface, ready for normal primer, or just whack a top coat on, depends on how fussy you are!, you dont need to high build it, so a couple of rattle cans of etch should suffice.......

Don't use etch if using hammerite. They don't go well together

if using hammerite on galv use special metals primer by hammerite this goes straight to weather'd galv. If your not short of a few quid use dulux metal shield and metal shield q/d primer. Or even jotun conseal i am sure this goes straight to galv. I work in paint industry domestic and industrial if you need help feel free to pm me.
