Gosh, is that the colour.:eek::eek: I was assuming it was smokestone or whatever they call it. I use Wilko black these days for almost everything carwise but I do favour Hammerite for certain jobs like the rear drums (gold naturally!:cool:)

just find the Hammerite really lasts , good to know about the wilko paint

but know there ordinary white gloss is useless , goes yellow

done my rear drums with Hammerite , two years later is still fine , done it in black though ,

still wish I had done it in red, maybe next time , lol

I'll probably do my rear drums in black smoothrite too - but quite like the gold that John used! :)
 
Is that the aerosol or the household paint that goes yellow?

that's the household paint , gloss , is really bad after about 8 months all my skirting boards in the bedroom went yellow , so burnt all the paint back off and started again , lol

used the brush and a tin of Hammerite , took ages in trying to grind all the junk off, if I had the money at the time would have been easier to have new drums, took a couple of hours with an angle grinder with a wire brush attatched and power washed after

hadn't seen gold drums yet , lol only red and yellow

I spent a bit of time on the drums - relatively.:D - cos I don't take time over anything ...........................too impatient see. I chipped the loose then got the rotary wire on the rest and finally sanded but even then they look less than smooth. Gold or red.............against black ..........I like.:cool:

Meant to say my fav tool is an old b****rd file followed by a welders chipping hammer.:D:D

was suprising how long it took , found a dirtblaster fitted to my karcher done wonders

but also found it wasnt completely smooth , just put I think 3 x coats of Hammerite on it, giving it a slight sand Inbetween coats

done black as I just thought it wouldn't show up all the dirt etc so quick as a brighter colour
