Re: Rust-o-leum vs. Hammerite
don't know hammerrite but i do use rust-o-leum or "tremclad" up here
most times it gets a wipe with thinner before paint(helps flow) done quite a bit this way most recently rolled on the 78s body,79s floor I don't thin it like some do it's dosn't stop rust ,it slows it down at best

Re: Rust-o-leum vs. Hammerite
Another Hammerite fan here.
I first came across it in a mom & pop hardware store probably 20+ years ago. At that time it was imported (I think from England IIRC) I had a antique steel chair that I found submerged in a creek. Absolutely no paint left, just solid rust. I took it home, pressure cleaned it and painted it with Hammerite. I still have that chair on my porch. The rust has never come back. I have had to repaint it several times in the past 20 years just because of fading and a wanted color change, but no returning rust. That stuff is amazing. At that time, the only finish available was hammered. I guess that's where the name came from. And there were only about half-dozen colors. But, now they're making it here in the US and they offer smooth finish and lots more colors. Forget the Rust-Oleum. Spend a few bucks extra and get Hammerite.
