Dont use Hammerite!

Its awful stuff and not nearly as good as it used to be, use anything by
Genolite, primer, top coat etc.

If you want a nice dark green laquer finish use JAPLAQ, really high gloss
finish and gloopy.

I use 2 coats of davits zinc 182 primer & 1 thick coat ( or 2 thinner
coats ) of black underseal, the waxoil stuff aint to bad if you leave the
lid off & let it thicken up, but as it goes it is thin now, if it is the
sill area which you can see I would prime it & spray it body colour,

Steve.

Use redoxide/zinc primer followed by good quality stone chip, the stuff
that dries hard than paint body colour with brushing enamel, any paint
mixing place should be able to mix some to your colour scheme. You can
waxoyl afterwards if you want to.
