I kept looking for Hammerite hammered light blue in spray in Belgium until today when I got and answer from the importer saying this colour does not exist in spray unlike what I found on the web site.
Can you tell me if you bought it in spray in the UK?
Regards.

Olivier.


Olivier,

I bought it in a spray can, but in the US, not in the UK!

Thanks. It's good to know that it does exist in spray. I will try to find one even if I have to go to USA!!

I ordered it from jamestowndistributors.com. I don't think it can be shipped via air, however. Also, I didn't get as much of the "hammered" effect as I would have liked. I recall reading in the product literature that the paint-on product is better in this respect than its spray-on counterpart.

Saturday was the Big Day: the engine is finally in the car. In the photo, it's not quite bolted in but that was soon rectified. Bill Gavin of this forum was instrumental in making this happen. There is still a lot of work to do before it's ready to start, let alone ready to drive, but this was a major milestone.
