Thread: Which paint??

Hi Mate . I used engine enamel on my front bar and it has copped a few knocks in the bush and the paint is still there . I had kill rust for starters but it was coming off . Roughly $14 for a spray can of engine enamel . I used a flat black

Thanks Mick
That sounds like a good idea to me, engine enamel had crossed my mined
We used it on everything when we rebuilt the county even sprayed over wet surfaces and the paint still seems to be there

CHEERS TIM.

It's a pretty hardy paint when it will put up with extreme heat so it has to stick well . You could always paint it holden 186 red

Mmmmmm that would go well with the green

kill rust! but not spray can crap. buy a 500ml tin and spray it your self, use a good zinc primer and put the kill rust on thick. do a first coat not to thick, let it tack off (bout 30min depending on how hot it is) then do a second coat over that. then do another coat the next day.

Do you have a spray gun at all?, killrust or its equivelant, thinned down 10%, through a spray gun is the goods

What about hammerite? I've never used it but it looks like it would be good for this application.
