when i done it,i used a acid etch primer, then a matt finish black spray cans.

it has picked up some chips now, and wouldlike to re do it.

would it be best to give it a v light rub down with a fine wet sandpaper, then a soapy wash.

as for respraying it, should i use hammerite matt finish, or i have seen some radiator black paint. what would work best?

thanks
ian

 

hi mate i would say hammerite, which type of paint were u gunna use coz they do outdoors stuff and special metal paint i think that would prob be a lot tougher than radiator paint?

 

frosts do intercooler / radiator paint dont use hammerite

 

this is the radiator stuff i was looking at

Radiator Black Gloss (340g)*(10040) - Painting - Frost Auto Restoration Techniques

i want a matt finish as poss

what would be the matts look, gloss or satian?

 

Satin is in between matt and gloss, I would personally go for satin it will have a tiny sheen to it.

 

have you used that radaitor paint before?

 

thats the stuff i have done all my car's with i used the gloss
its very good
