cheapest place for hammerite direct to rust metal paint?
Can't believe how much Homebase are charging for this stuff, especially as
the spray can I bought the other day clogged up after 30 seconds and is now unusable with a third still left in the tin. Wasted another third trying to get it to work. Needless to say, I'm now looking for a tin of paint rather than a spray can. |

Well I just bought some from FocusDIY as they had a special offer on. 2 x 750ml tins for £20 normal price £12.99 each so worked out cheaper per litre than buying the 2.5 litre tin for £34.99 (you get more of a discount the more you buy) Not what I'd call a bargain but a bit of a saving. No deals to be had at homebase or B&Q Thanks |

I pay £3.50 / can from my local car accessory shop when I buy 12 cans -- geoff |

Dulux and Hammerite are both owned by ICI so branches of the former should have a good stock of the latter but branches of Crown stock it as well. |

I thought of doing that, but so far haven't got round to it -- geoff |

Having said that, the Dulux branches near to me have a reputation for being expensive and inflexible so you might be better off trying Crown. |
