fast ford's puma paintjob
i think i am correct in thinking that it was painted using satin black hammerite, the pictures i saw in the mag the finished looked good.
does anybody know if the finish has lasted or has it deteriorated over time?
my reason for asking is that i need to get some paint on my project before the frost,snow & heavy rain sets in as it is kept outside and im hoping to use it on the road over the winter to iron out some niggles, but i dont have much of a budget at the moment.
or does anybody have any ideas for a cheap paintjob that will look half decent. i can get access to a compressor & empty shed for a weekend if need be.
cheers Neil

thanks, how did it die?
just watched a video on youtube of a guy in the states painting his car with something called rustoleum and a roller, quite shocked by how good it looked.

thanks, so the hammerite didn't save it from the rust then! did the paintwork last till the end then? as i've heard it can chip off as it isnt flexible. wish i could get it painted properly but i've been quoted around Ł700 local & i can tafford that at the moment
also wondering if the tags are aimed at me??

lol the tags are for me!
Basically, was bored, fancied a change, so a 2am random paintjob under spot lights was just the job.
I'm sure you could do it with primer and laquers but i just gave teh car a scotch brite, wiped the dust off and applied paint.
Looked ok, next day as a bit patchy in area's, went over them again and if i say so myself, it looked mint
Died as it was costing me money, did a head, needed welding and started acting up on way to MOT, so i threw the towel in and got a Focus.
Satin is much nicer than matt IMO
