And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but

Black direct to metal hammer(sh)ite. Been getting pretty damn hot when racing and not flaked off yet.

Hi Piddy,
I used Metal Protect spray cans from B&Q. It covers really well and the finish is excellent.
Cheers
Stu.

Halfords is the stuff - the yellow is particularly fetching. I did find it needed a few coats to build up a really solid colour but has been bullet
proof ever siince and survived my recent fire intact.

Maybe a bit late now ,but I used Hammerite on my tin top over 2 1/2 years ago and was still going strong.
Painted the Westie brakes last year, not done many miles, but still looking good.
