Had some good results with Hammerite on a variety of projects over the years. Like it says, best remove all the loose stuff. In fact, I found the best results were after using power tools such as the "cup" type wire brush or the flap discs on an angle grinder. Another tip, I guess you already know, make sure the surface is as dry as poss before painting. Hammerite is unlike standard paint.
Don't overbrush it. That is, don't spread it out too thin. Just kind of gloop it on. You may only need one thick coat. If you want to give it 2, I seem to remember it says the second coat should be applied within either 24 hours or 7 days.
Either one is OK, but not between these 2. Check this. I haven't found any difference in durability re. There is now smooth, or original "hammered" finish - which is better for hiding surface blemishes. It shouldn't need thining, and for brush cleaning I haven't found anything else that will do it except Hammerite Thinners which is expensive. Just chuck the brush away!

Some cellulose thinners will clean Hammerite brushes if you haven't got the real stuff. Lakesailor New member.
