not sure of the manufacturer mate, last time I got this stuff was from SuperCheap, 600gm spraycan ?? If you got rust, then need to deal with that first of course....

if you find a use for an airless gun, you can also get hammertone in 1l or 2l cans, its a fair bit cheaper that way......

Cools thx mate...Have access to air and airless sprayers :D

sounds like a job for .............Hammertone !!!!

its great stuff, cheap, great finish, looks like gal. paint without the cost......

and its as hard as buggery.......lasts forever......perfect for a trailer......

(I have incriminating evidence of a GSX1100 that was painted Hammertone Magenta...........but won't post the photo out of respect for the owners feelings....) :wink:

Hammertone is the way to go with any metal finish

We have a 3 factories full of machinery covered in Hammertone
so i have access to a source (the store is full of touch up cans)
green or charcoal grey (guess which colour my trailer is...?)

buy it at Bunnings too

cheers

Nah.. you'd think that...

It was a piece of crap i bought from a pawn broker for $50 and it was the best sounding guitar i've ever played...

Better than my current Ibanez and my old Gibson... :roll:

I am also looking for trailers for 2 bikes ...... I went and got 3 or so quotes the other day and they varied from:

1100 ish - 1900 ish

for a 7X5 with all the ramps, channels etc.....

I think I will keep an eye out in the trading post, and see if I can't get a cheaper one.....
