Norfolk....

there now.

You would probably have to paint it with something like Hammerite mate.

Only problem is it's only available in a limited number of colours.

Not surprised you've been quiet then - only open on Fridays??

its great mate, lovely chilled peeps, all relaxed, just what we needed....


and we killed a sheep last night and bbq'd it, so I feel at home.....



Hows you then butt munch?

Hammerite limited? There's another range of hammerite look alikes and both have a range of colours, plus I don't suppose there's any bar to mixing colours and creating your own palette!

As to painting galvo, the only knowledge that I have to hand is the memory of someone telling me that fresh galvo is a b*gger to paint, old is easier. I would certainly check up carefully as if you don't you may well find that it doesn't adhere well. Abrading/sanding the surface lightly was also recommended to me.

I'm actually under severe pressure to go and start packing - it's eight hours till the taxi comes whats the bloody rush!!

going anywhere nice?

As I understand it - degreasing is the key - well for hot dipped stuff anyway. I'll stick with what I said a decent metal paint system will be OK.

I hope so - Crispy's bosom - well at least there'll be some shade!!

Gotta go I can't take the nagging any more - and now it seems my hair (singular) needs cutting!!

Ok, that's puzzling me. How does a hot metal dipped object end up greasy? I was never told degrease it.

I agree that if hammerite won't stick, I'm damned if I know what would.

Don't know where the grease comes from - maybe a quick spray to slow the oxidation or contam from the handling and transport??
Just going off what I see when they've been doing new bridge stuff at work - A good session with the "tric' " then primer, then a couple of coats of colour. (that's in a seaside environment)

That was quick packing!

course...... shorts, string vest, notted hanky, jesus sandals, socks.... done.

Spot the Brit!
