Hammerite or Hammertone

[Ttownbucket]

Has anyone used Hammerite or Hammertone to coat their frame?

Haven't used Hammerite, but I can tell a little about Rustoleum Hammertone. I sprayed it on a primed aluminum panel once for a piece of electronics equipment I was designing. After several days, it was still so soft that I could easily dent it with a fingernail. I ended up stripping it all off and clear anodizing the piece instead. Just for reference, I do know how to use these paints and have not had that experience with Rustoleum gloss finishes.

You might want to search for Hammerite in a more general forum to see what users say about prep and durability. Don't forget also that some of the frame will be exposed to sunlight. That can damage some paints.

I used Hammertone from a spray bomb on the suspension of my '32 Ford and it was unchipped when I sold it 4 years later. Got it at Ace Hardware I think.

I used Hammertone on my 2 post lift that stays outside and still looks good after 11 years of abuse i also used it on my chassis for my 65 f100 and its easy to whip off all the oil and junk

I use Hammertone on all my project cars to coat it from rust. I find the spray is very thin and does not give the hammered look as well as roll on. I prefer to roll it if possible because the finish seems the best. It does stay soft and if you ever have to remove it you need a wirewheel as it just gums up sandpaper.
