Re-painting dampers

[Sam_K]

After having dampers rfeubed, what have people used re-paint them? I noticed some people have used hammerite but isnt this a bit rough?

Cheers

I bought a can of hammerite spray from Homebase - its the same colour as the dampers which is a bonus. Got rid of the rust and gave the dampers around 8-10 coats. I suggest getting some masking tape What do you means by "rough" though?

I know what he means; use hammerite smooth not classic, I did- spot on

I used Hammerite rust removing gel and give them a good sanding down, then some primer and a good few layers of halfords spray paint (Renault silver) which turns out to be a nearly perfect match as the original, then I used hammerite lacqure as a final coat.

Within a couple months they were looking a bit run down again sadly.
