Hi,
just bought a tin of hammerite anti rust primer, to use on the bonnet i have just finished stripping to bare metal.

Am i barking up the wrong tree, should i stick to spraying? if so what first etch primer, normal primer etc etc

Cheers.

I applied Bonda Prima to all my panels and the smaller sections I used a brush 'just to get it covered' which was fine at the time, but it did result in more rubbing down than if I had sprayed it!
Recommendation:- spray it

I would agree - go for spraying if you can. I fitted a bottom door skin replacement panel and it needed a bit of work to blend in. As a final coat, I used 3 coats of a thick cellulose filler primer, brushed on, then sanded it back by hand using a guide coat. It took ages to get a good smooth finish.
Sraying would avoid that horrible sanding task.

OK
thanks for the advice.

Cheers.

Paul.

ok, lesson learnt. spraying it is.
Definately on highly visible panels like the bonnet, what a nightmare trying to get it flat, i now have one arm like Geoff Capes.

The hammerite stuff 'may' be of use under the car - where not in the public eye!
