![]() | Question:
I want to spray a set of "winter wheels" for my car, grey being the chosen colour. High gloss isn't necessary (could it be lacquered-over?) but I'm looking for durability. Would you recommend it for this use? Thanks. |
Answer:
Assuming the wheels are some for of alloy you would apply Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2102 Adhesion Primer followed by Rust-Oleum Hard Hat Topcoat. Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2500 Transparent Protection can be applied over this for extra durability. | |
![]() | Question: Can i use this to paint 2 or 3 small galvanised steel sheets |
Answer: Yes, follow preparation and application instructions on the data sheet available to download from the 'DATASHEETS' tab on the product page. | |
![]() | Question: Can you weld through Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2185/1085 Galva Zinc? |
Answer: Yes, it is physically possible to do this and then “dress” the welds as normal afterwards. But, Rust-Oleum Hard Hat 2185/1085 Galva Zinc has never been submitted for independent testing and so has no official weld certificate. | |
