Sorry to dig up an old subject, but where can i find Rust-oleum Protective Enamel? eBay just brings up hammertone stuff. Searching Protective Enamel just brings up nail varnish Mad

Are there any UK equivalents to Rust-oleum? Planning on a little project Wink

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Fri Apr 10 2009, 20:03

just google rustoleum and there's quite a few online places where you can buy it from.
I did my own paint job . If you went to spring fest you probably already guessed that!

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Fri Apr 10 2009, 20:21

this is a good company to get it from, very helpfull

I looked on there, but im not sure which product i would want? Protective enamel isn't listed, so I'm assuming it's an old version..

9900 - High build polyurethane topcoat is the closest to this i guess?

Any pics of your paintjob, caddyluke? very interested to see how it turned out..

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Sat Apr 11 2009, 19:40

combi colour smooth is the one you want

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 15:48

cheers luke - another question. what can i use to mix with the rustoleum to thin it out?

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 16:22

any standard thinners i would think mate

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 16:33

ok cool, didn't know if it would make it go a bit crud like hammerite. i might aswell buy what I'm gonna get and see what it says..

enough with the silly questions cheers

for now..

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 18:20

make sure the mix is 50:50 and do very thin coats! you wont get total coverage until the 5th coat. and leave it at least 5 days before you polish it up this will let the paint harden real good. the key is very thin coats and lots of them.

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 18:58

cheers luke - is this the technique you used? im still waiting for photos of your paint job Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: Anyone doing a home paint job read this. Tue Apr 14 2009, 22:25

make sure you use mineral thinners, im still doing mine, nearly done tho, i'l put some pics up when its finished just needs a couple more coats and then a polish. ive been taking my time just doing 2 coats every weekend but i couldnt be bothered this weekend so im going to hit it hard next weekend.
