Front uprights - best finish ??
Right then, what's the best finish for uprights ?
I've finished uprights in the past with red oxide and Hammerite and it didn't last long, I had to keep touching them up. Halfords satin
seemed better than Hammerite.
Perhaps normal paint (as opposed to Hammerite) over red oxide would be better ?
I've a set of Cortina uprights that have been blasted and primered, however some surface rust has starting to get through.
Brake caliper paint has been recommended, but I can only see it in red/blue/yellow colours.
Any suggestion ?

ensure you thoroughly remove all rust then use etch primer or a zinc rich primer followed by Hammerite or similar Ronseal also do one.

Perhaps I used the wrong primer ?
Red oxide gave a cracking finish but the paint didn't seem to take that well.
How have yours survived omega, did you find the hammerite brittle ?

Brake fluid is a good one for removing POR15

them on.
