Trouble is, it can be a bit thick to apply and the trick is not to touch it after the first coat until it's dry.

Hope this is of some help!!
Just wondering, how does the hammerite cope with the heat, I have a tin of silver and a tin of black hammerite in the shed and a scabby looking engine so was thinking of knocking up a colour to match the engine and having a bash with that as I can only find black or silver engine enamel but my engine is grey.
