   Obviously they don't do posi blue but i use Hammerite. Never 'peeled' off so obviously high temp paint isn't necessarily a must.
   
   Btw, i use brush on Hammerite. Aerosol Hammerite is shit, shitting, shitty, horrible stuff.

   +1 use hammerite blue mixed with hammerite silver and you should be able to get a posi blue with the right amounts of each
   
   Halfords paint will go black and crusty lol
