   i had a go at painting my rocker cover today with hammerite smooth paint. worked ok the only problem is after seeing it i have changed my mind on the colour lol.
   i know enamel takes a veryu long time to set properly and u cant paint it again untill it has so i was thinking i might just try to strip it and start again but enamel is very hard to strip right? so any one know what to use to do this??

   u can buy stuff called Nitromors which will do the job mate!!
   
   u can get it in homebase for about £7, u just paint it on with a brush, leave it for 15mins and the paint peels off - apply over and over again until its all gone
   
   hope this helps!
