looking for a hard wearing paint for footrests

<< < (2/4) > >>

Eric Frith:
Smoothrite silver is just that (smooth) (Hammerite is crinckle) I use it on small alloy parts etc

LesterPiglet:
Smoothrite comes in a variety of colours, black being one of them. The first link I came across, shop around.

florence:
it's magic, virtually no preparation required.

totty:
I seem to be in the minority but I'm not a hammerite fan. In my experience it chips easily, it can react with itself on touch up (seems ok while still wet or when years old), it softens or worse if fuel is spilt on it, it scuffs and scratches easily, requires special thinners, reacts to some metals and primers.

If you want to paint and forget then POR15 is a better bet.

UK Pete:
por15 is good goes rockhard, but you should expect wear on any paint on a footrest
