Marvin Boggs Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 You found the spray can version? I can't even find that, and I love the stuff when working on my car. Someone must sell it, because I see the industrial green hammerite painted on equipment and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the metal is already primed (using red oxide as Jim said) if needed. Should only need one coat of each. You bought a descent brush - this means you will be painting in a downward direction only? P.S. Just taking the Piss mate! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have painted my double and single gate. Too late I've painted it for you lol. Used epoxy two pack for extra protection against the salt from the sea. Next the balcony railings, jeez it's like painting the forth bridge, time you have finished painting it all, it's time to start painting everything again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the balcony railings to paint but only 8 long ones but Ems wants another room put on top of the balcony to cover the hole with the steps come through so it will also stop the rain, so 70 blocks and rebar and hopefully it should be up tomorrow, so I have been told I can’t paint those rails just yet, but I have notice the gates are a yellow colour, brown could look better . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah brown would be better, yellow will show up dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewool Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 Having just brought some new corrugated sheets and they are just silver in colour , can I just prime these with red oxide paint then paint them using the boysen I brought, or can I just use the boysen without the red oxide .these will be on the roof under the baking sun and all weathers .

I would use.... Zinc Chromate Primer. Red oxide is for iron. I foolishly used red oxide on my car port and is now peeling. I should have known better being a painter n decorator for 40 odd years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
