steve dray Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Anybody know of a decent brushable satin black? Something that goes on nicely and doesn't show too many brush marks . Want to do inside the boot and the interior floor, but it will be on show so needs to look good Ta
bmxdave Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Hammerite i think do a satin black. Their stuff is really good for brushing, i did the cortina in it and it looked spot on, just make sure you follow the instructions for best results
KJ 1320 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 If you use Hammerite Steve,make sure it's nice and warm in your garage otherwise it goes on like treacle!
johnny_h Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Why do you want to brush on Steve? The halfords rattle cans give a great finish if you take your time.
FredTransit Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I would say look for a decent satin spray paint, I use a brilliant satin black engine paint. As long as you mask off well, it shouldn't get everywhere.
mk2 stu Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Use Rustoleum metal paint, american version of hammerite, much better quality and better finish, we use it on all the metal work at work. Get it from Trade paints, if you have to brush.
FredTransit Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 If you really don't want to spray, try Dulux Satinwood and a roller.
steve dray Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 If you really don't want to spray, try Dulux Satinwood and a roller. Reminds me of an old morris marina I had years ago, I hand painted that with 'dulux wet look gloss' were'nt to bad either! I have thought of spraying it but tbh I don't know what sort of paint to use as I dont know anythin about paint. I've seen some satin black cellulose paint on ebay which you mix 50/50 with thinners, will that be ok to use? will it air dry ok and will I need to prime it first if so what sort of primer?? Car paint is a bit of a minefield when you dont know
Fiesta Steve Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 If you want black cellulose I've got some un opened cans you can have for free.
