NormK,

Apologies. Some info:

Substrates: Galvanised steel, aluminium and chromed steel

Method: Spray paint cans

Materials (cans used- all 'fresh' from Bunnings except where listed):
Dulux Metalshield etch primer light grey
Dulux Metalshield hammered finish blue
Dy-mark Zinc Gal
White Knight super chrome
Polycraft Quickcoat emamel clear (old- maybe even up to 10 years I think)

Application/Method:

Prep-
Rust convert where neccessary and sand back (except gal surfaces, these were affected by the rust converter)

Paints-
zinc gal on gal steel, then hammered blue or 'chrome' finish followed by clear, 2 coats each.

Otherwise etch primer, hammered blue or chrome then clear, 2 coats each.

Some exceptions were some bolt heads- no clear. This seems to have gone ok but still a bit soft.

Pics soon, item smaller than a mower, quite a few smaller parts with crevices, shapes, nooks, crannies, etc) don't want 'em laughing too early! sick
