Moderator Posts: 3,464 Group: PE30 Members Member #343 Joined: 5-01-06	Right! 3-4 weeks ago I sprayed a spare bottle top with "Hammerite silver smooth" and left it to "cool off " for a while. Yesterday I sprayed both near-side wheels , two coats each , and even though I say so my-self, they look really good. That paint is spot on, having real depth and shine. I was just going out to get a pic, but its braying it down so that can wait :LOL: A cheap way to re-furb?, I`ll get some pics up later and you decide. Mart.

And its so good to use . Well I did it, but with any sort of prep, this is a bloody good product!! I sprayed the front grill`s on saturday and used a Full tin of satin black! Good results, but poor value �4.00 Mart.
