Brush on Paint

m3prq Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:40 pm

I have used in the past hammerite smooth and Hammerite Hammered and even painted
Rubber Carlife on my past Scamp mk2.(looked like a rubber torch at night Rolling Eyes

)
I once painted a fiat campervan with a brush on paint I bought from Halfords.
My question is this .Can anyone please remember the name of the paint makers of Halfords brush on paint
that when dry was semi-gloss more a mat made around 1978-1979.Ian

I used tequaloid or techaloid ,not sure of spelling,you had to warm tin in hot water to make it flow smooth

Hi,

I've just bought some Craftmaster Coach Enamel paint to try on walle. Craftmaster Website

Its used on canal barges & steam engines & highly decorative old restoration projects.

It's flipping expensive i know that for a fact, 1litre white undercoat + 1 litre Coach enamel + 1" long bristle brush = no change out of £70 !!!!

Supposed to be very hard enamel & self levelling. Only bit i've tried it on at the moment is walle's new dashboard (loads of curves) & it looks poo... probably just my painting tho' (got a trapped nerve in both of my shoulders, so my hands are not exactly very steady !!) Hmm, might have to visit Poundland to get some cheap rollers & try them.

Might get round to painting walle's tailgate tmrw, will let you know how it goes.

Neil & John thanks for your replies on brush on paint....
I have heard about the paint you have to warm up first,I have not tried it.

John I forgot I once used International Barge paint and coating that was not cheap also.

The paint I bought from halfords that I was talking about turned out great,
with no brush marks at all and the fiat camper had a lot of metal to cover.
I wish I could remember what it was called.I would do my mk3 in that paint,
if I could still buy it.Ian

It wasn't Re-Paint was it?
Back in 1989/1990 I bought some of that in bright orange for my Spitty, it looked.............. well, it rhymes with spitty! So I paid to have it sprayed professionally, cerise pink! Laughing

Hammerite crackle and smooth - someone mentioned Poundland - all good Scampers visit Poundland on a regular basis - none of yer Snap-On tools for us oh know - Black Spur and Draper are the ones for us anyway some time back they had small tins of Hammerite for the usual pound and the 250mm tins in Halfords I think are around 5 quid so I bought them all - I think there were 14 Navy Blue in smooth and hammer finish ideal for painting Florence's sub frames which I did and they are still haniging up in the garage waiting for the machanical fairies to fit them in the re-built chassis one day when I return from my middle east expedition What a Face

This is an interesting site. I found as I was searching for re-paint

Cannon's Repaint. Got bought up by Hammerite in the mid '90's I believe. In my student days we painted a grotty Mini black with the stuff, thinned with 4 star (we were skint) outside our rented house in Hove. The landlady nearly evicted us, as we left a Mini shaped black stain on the road! We also painted a Union Jack on the roof. It looked great! I also painted a Riley 4/72 red with Cannons, and people thought it was 2 pack...obviously not very clever people...
As long as it was thinned enough and you did it in sweeping strokes, it always looked OK. Perfect for a Scamp, if you can find any!

WARNING TO ANYONE ....After 3 weeks of drying in my garage I went out the other day
for a drive, and it rained, the rain has ruined the paint,it looks like I have put it on the Scamp with a knife
or spade. I GIVE UP

Hi its water based air dry paint. but takes 48 hours (thats not a typo. 48 hours)to dry hard.I have spoken to the seller and he thinks it could have been a bad batch,he seems a very nice bloke, and has sold 100s of this paint.

Umm, The BS NATO Green and Matt Black paint that I bought from the place at Alrewas on the A38 (the name escapes me) dried in about 15 minutes and stuck like sh!t to a shirt tail! In fact it dried as you were brushing it on and I had to add thinners to it as i went along.

I never had a problem with the stuff I used but the paint you've bought may need a hardener adding to allow it to go off.

Or maybe you've been had! pale

I have spoken to the seller and you dont thin it or use a hardner ,as regards to being had.
he is going to give a % of my money back.and he seems a very caring seller. It looks like
it was a bad batch.

TRR Motorsport Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:19 pm

That's good news, It's nice to know there are some decent sellers on e-bay (apart from Scampers of course! Wink

).

Yes Elaine it was Leavesleys. It's beenso long since I'd been there I'd forgoten the name. What a place for army surplus.
