I have some cast aluminium chairs and a table - they have flaky white paint
on them. I was thinking of using a power washer to remove loose paint and
then Hammerite.

Any better ideas?

as long as you use the special metal primer first, not tried aluminium
but the cast iron one I painted 4 or five years ago out lasted the
wooden slats

I had mine grit blasted and powder coated about 10 years ago and they still
look as good as new.

Did it cost much? Did you dis-assemble them? What type of establishment does
powder coating?

I did have to dismantle them, but I don't know the cost. It was a return
favour by the bloke with the factory next door, who sent a lot of stuff for
powder coating, so he just stuck mine in with a normal run. Powder coating
come under the general heading of metal finishing, but that covers a variety
of processes, so not all metal finishers do powder coating.
