Ok thanks. I will see where I can buy these

I can't seem to find the same product in the uk, could I use another primer and top coat?
Any alternatives?

IMO all you really need is the rattle cans, buy some galve spray

It is a rust preventive and acts as a primer. then just go for a named colour brand, dont cheap out as no names react with named brands. Its not as expensive and you wont be spraying alot of things unless you decided to go into the spraying business, which means devil biss (compressor sprayers) and there expensive.

Go with the rattle cans, cheap and effective

ok, thanks for your replies
I found this in our workshop, will it do for an undercoat? (it says spray on the can, so i can use it with our compressor.)
then i may use this for a top coat.
What do you think?

dont use paint out of date as it wont dry

 

[r_chez_08]

paint has a use by date?
ok i may get another primer, from hammrite, does the spray look ok?

 

[KieranM]

yea the spray is grand, once its a named brand. And yes paint has a use by, i have had paints to go out of date after 5 years, and that can looks old

 

[r_chez_08]

ok thanks, my dad doesnt know the age, so i though i would test some out on a piece of scrap.
I will get the hammerite spray most probably then, as it is quite cheap.
