Restoring Brumby tray

smiles · Post by **smiles** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 1:42 am

I'm about to do some work in the tray of my Brumby to get rid of the rust that has bubbled under the paint since I have been away overseas. I am going to grind/wire brush it down to bare metal, and then I'll have to decide how to protect it. Does anybody have any specific recommendations for an aerosol can primer?

Thanks!

any brand of hammer tone paint on bare metal better than a primer - it seals the rust in a glass like paint. I used it on my Brumby windscreen rusty bits in 1998, in 2006 when I replaced screen it was like I'd just done it. There was no more rust advance. I suppose when it is sanded it could be overcoated. Did you go the LPG?

yeah im a fan of the hammer tone, when i get my metal bumbers and most other metal outside bits its all gonna be grey hammer tone very strong when sprayed on cold and even better if its hot enameled

Great! That's what I'll use then.

Steptoe- I haven't been to an LPG Converters for their opinions yet, but I might get a chance next week hopefully..

Add PENETROL to your paint, and/or straight to the metal. seriously, its magic stuff. and hammertone is great, especially with PENETROL!!

I put hammercoat on the back today- It looks great and seems to be hard as a rock. Thanks a lot guys!

Isn't penetrol for water based? or is it the other way around?
