Stand paint

Post by smeghead »

I need to repaint the Vespa's stands, both are looking a lot shit. Other than Hammerite does anyone know anything that would be better?

I use this, which is probably the same stuff that Bern is referring to.

Cheers chaps, as I'm working in the middle of Donny and there's a Wilko here that's where I'm heading in my lunchtime.

Dunno - if you find something that works let me know! I didn't find Hammerite any good as it gets blasted off by wind / water/ road grit. Ditto some chassis paint I tried.

Similar bud, Wilko do this ... https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/rust-oleum- ... /p/0413324 ... there is also a satin finish if you prefer, I tend to get through a few tins a year as herself likes to use it for crafting projects :roll:

I got what looks like Wilko's own brand Hammerite. Just a fiver, brush on, didn't want a spray. I'm looking forward to grovelling around on the floor at the weekend now.
