hmm like the look of that, I have a few trailers to build 
actually just looked at the video and it looks brilliant  , I use hammerite a lot these days and the normal spray is very wasteful and gets
everywhere but gives the best finish as brushed on smoothrite always has the brush marks left. Oh I can see me getting that at the weekend

wow...if it works as advertised I really like that!
Normal spray cans waste so much paint.....
I wonder how hard it is to clean the thing once you are done painting everything under the sun!

did anyone else notice they missed a bit behind the finial at the end of the video?
seems like an interesting concept, yet not quite as good as they make out.

Question is how much coverage does that £15 worth of paint give? if it paints half a chassis, well worth it, if it's gonna take half a dozen
cans then not such a bargain.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I did the full MK chassis using 4 tins of standard smootherite so If you use that as a guide. standard cans are 400ml at £9 each now (£36) the new
cans on B&Q give 2 sizes 750ml & 360ml both £15 if i use the smaller and allow for less overspray say 4 cans again gives £60 if u include the
gun at £40 gives total value of £100 and you still get to use the gun again etc still got to be good value (Im trying to convince myself here arent
I!!)

Found this in the instructions, does seem to cover quite a bit -
One thing to note is that once opened the can has to be used within 24 hrs so the chassis or what ever your were painting would have to be all
ready.
