JDFrain 1 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) just wondering if anyone has had any experience painting an Ifor williams canopy, seen a couple on dvds done dark green look quite nice, but just wondering how robust the paint work would be and what would be the best paints and primers etc to use... cheers john Edited September 26, 2008 by JDFrain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wink hound 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i know of someone(a keeper) thats had a dark green hammerite type back for atleast 10 years and the paint still looks good......... the right paint will last! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 If its Galvanised, then you should use a Self Etch Primer. This will ensure that he paint sticks properly. As you dont use a primer with Hamerite normally, it may well stick with out. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDFrain 1 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 chhers for the info lads think i will try a few sample patches. anouther slight concern is will it alter the temperature in the back due to it being a darker colour, just thinking about the dogs as they can be in there for quite a while throught the year. At the moment it stays nice and cool with it being quite reflective. john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
