   Hammerite Smooth Finish Aerosol
   
   Hammerite Direct To Rust Metal Paint can be painted directly onto rusty surfaces, and thanks to its special 3 in 1 formula there is no need to use a primer or undercoat - saving you precious time

   ye it says that on can but i would recommend you prime it first, helps to stop chipping, which you'll get alot of on wheels

    u can;t lacquer hammerite, it reacts cos its all in one spray. can says not to use lacquer before u jump on mirrorblanks.
    and yes i did lacquer over hammerite to see and it does react, lifts all the paint off and flakes off

    #13 24th June 2010, 19:09

    i've lacquered over hammerite and never had any reaction
    
    personally i wouldn't bother with hammerite, i'd go to a paint suppliers and have them make up some cans

    seriously don't bother with hammerite, will look alot better getting some paint mixed up and put in cans from a paint suppliers and then clearcoat them

    i sprayed my steels up using hammerite smooth and i used lacquer and it seamed fine tbh, but i haven't lacquered my borbets which i used red hammerite to do the lip, but that was only for a quick job if i keep the car ill get it done professionally, i used primer with my red dish as i was spraying on to a black wheel the red was way to dark, when i used primer it made the paint brighter

    Hammerite can leave an amazing finish if your confident with using it. The cellulose in aerosol lacqure will react i know first hand how badly so DO NOT lacqure hammerite.

    Imo Hammerite Smooth is a t*at to use. To get a nice, glossy smooth finish you have to put on quite thick layer's but it run's far too easily then.
    
    Even Halfords aerosol paint would be better. I use some Hardhat stuff that i get from work and it's much! better than Hammerite Smooth.
