## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Waterproof and easy to apply. Ideal for small amounts of outdoor metal. - This paint works brilliantly on the metal above the outside of my window frames. The white finish makes the windows look much brighter and fresher. It dires smooth and glossy so it blended in well with the frames. I applied it with a paint brush directly from the can. Oddly, it was thick to apply but still dripped off the brush somewhat frequently but it was easy to get a consistent covering after two coats. Despite using white spirit to clean the bruch afterwards, it still dried hard, so use a brush with the expectation of throwing it away afterwards.
Review: Does what it says on the tin - YOU MUST FOLLOW application RULES to the letter ! - My radiators are 45 years old and have never been painted. I wiped them down with a kitchen sponges sourer side and then with a tea towel wiped them clean. I then very carefully followed the instructions to the letter ! I made sure the heating had been off 24 hours so the house and radiators were completely cold. I then sprayed a mist coat over the radiator adhering to the distance I should spray from exactly. The moment I saw a single little run of paint I stopped spraying immediately. The paint is very forgiving if you get a run and stop immediately as it appears to self level and the run disappeared. I left further application coats time window to double to what the instructions said so: 1 Mist coat - leave one hour. 2 Next coat - leave one hour. 3 Next coat - leave one hour. 4 Next coat - leave one hour. I then left the heating off for a further 24 hours to allow the paint to fully cure. Each coat I applied in opposite directions, so first coat horizontally, then next virtually etc etc. The end result was I had a radiator that looked like a brand new gloss enamelled radiator and looks beautiful. The application is all about prep, not rushing and using correctly. The spray paint quality is wonderful giving a super gloss bright white finish that looks just like a brand new enamel radiator. One can is enough for one average sized radiator.

## Questions & Answers

A: Yes this would be fine to use as my partner used it on his tow bar and it worked brilliantly. Hope this helps.
