def843t Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Can anyone recommend a paint for touching up paint chips on the chassis and suspension. I seem to recall that some type of hammerite was a good match. Cheers Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prs Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hammerite smooth satin finish is pretty good oh don't forget colour, BLACK! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yep, Hammerite smooth satin finish is the paint to use. A good match and pretty durable. Brent 7 not now in so many bits 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Woods Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I've not tried this stuff but Hoopy reckons that Frosts POR15 is better than Smooth Hammerite- see here Hammerite will chip off over time. ISTR the Satin finish is the closest to powedercoat - when I used the smooth stuff it was a bit too shiny Nick P8MRA - Red and Black 1.6K supersport, back on the road at last.

strongy Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I have use POR15 recently and found it to be excellent (although a b**tard to get of your hands and a very difficult tin to open). I did leave a small quantity out in an unopened container after I had finished with it and it went "off" to form a flexible solid - so I can believe there claims that it will not chip. Service from Frost's was excellent - next day delivery. Cheers Strongy - go on, wake the neighbours. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Haighton Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Its got to be POR 15 - Smoothrite doesn't come close for durability. Make sure you put cling film over the top of the tin, before you put the lid back on. THis helps to stop the polyuretahne formulation curing on contact with air leaks into the can. Oh - and wear disposable gloves!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
