Had problems trying to get that stuff to stick to the hubs. The tin version meant there were brush marks in the paint and the spray stuff didn't dry quickly enough.

neg:
I keyed mine with sandpaper then primered, then did a few coats of matt paint - just using normal car paint from halford - works fine.  Best to do a couple though so you have a spare as it can get chipped easily - especially in the winter.

thanks a lot guys - that plastidip thing looks interesting. may order that and use that instead of the hammerite.

thanks v much !!!

I was using it on my mk2 but i didn't like the results, maybe a duff can but i didnt like the colour of red or the finish.
