   aerosol would look much much better as its smooth, but your looking at £7 per can prob need about 3-4 cans, paint on you could see stroke marks, buts its £18 for a litre (i think). also lacquer it m8!
   gd luck post some pics when ur done

   I'd use the aerosol version mate, more expensive but leaves a much better finish!
   
   And you don't need to lacquer Hammerite, especially as it won't be exposed to the elements.

   Aerosol finish is alot nicer, but in the end you pay for the finish you get.
   
   Also as above no need for lacquer hammerite is a very strong paint.
