Grr



If you are going to the effort of spraying it properly you might as well use proper auto paint. Then do loads of coats of clear over the top to protect it!

I sprayed my landrover in Hammerite (like rustoleum I guess). Might have well have rollered it. I have since rollered and brushed replacement parts and you can't tell them apart from the bits i sprayed, since it dries pretty much the same.

I have also done my saab. Used cellulose paint. It looked great to start with but I Didn't clear coat it and it has since collected stone chips and stains (bird poo poo and screenwash are both bastards!), so i'm going to redo it.

I have also done another landrover with cellulose. I was spraying onto bare ally and despite spraying it with proper mixed etch primer over the last 5 years it has reacted and my paint is all speckly :(
