I use this stuff from B&Q, I use there black for alot of there stuff, the Villiers base above is spraied with the Satin Super, its tip top smash, I tried Hamerite for a change and it ran and crazed like made, this stuff is easy and very forgiving, and comes in a nice range of colours, Undercoat is good to.

Last time I used smooth Hammerite was just for the wheels on my van, and it looked sh1t, it looked as if I'd put it on with a catapult, thinned it down still rubbish, never again will I buy Hammerite.

Think I'll give this stuff a go Steve as the budget is limited & I have loads of time on my hands cos I'm retired & it is only a little old M.K.12, thanks again everyone!
