gruntus Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Gents, Having had my shotblasted axle returned preprimered and ready to go, I gave it a couple of coats of hammerite. I have sandblasted the front swivels and brake calipers myself and given them two coats of Galvafroid (Note: the site of a cleanly shotblasted swivel housing was proper porn ). Unfortunatly I have noticed that the hammerite chips of really easily and want to protect the paint from the rigours of the road. I was thinking of a light coating of underseal or the like on top which is a bit more pliable and will resist chips. But.....I have seen underseal peel off before and the axles will obviously take a proper hammering. So any thoughts on what I can coat the axles, and front swivels with to preserve the exisiting coatings? Thanks in advance as always.

Les Henson Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 How about a tougher coating, such as Stone Chip? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 How about a tougher coating, such as Stone Chip?Les. Hi Les, Thanks for the quick response. Do you have any recommended brands? A brush applied coating would be best as the garage isn't quite ready for spraying (too much in the "assembly area" ). Cheers Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I don't know if you can get brush on stone chip. Any I've seen is spray - either aerosol can or the stuff I have is applied with a shutz gun. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
