Hammerite Direst To Rust Metal Paint test

[Muggnz]

the latest & greatest ( so far )

21 months old & going further







Sorry about the extras, due to a heavy cold I couldn't be bothered removing the debris

So much for 5 years. It looks like you'll be applying the wire brush by 24 months.

[Muggnz]

I don't plan on wire brushing them, even after 5 years. Especially the rust bucket. I may or may not change my mind on the other.

[Muggnz]

They say rust never sleeps. It also grows older, as can be seen by these pictures, 27 months old & getting bigger.

Not bad results considering how close to the ocean you are. I'm about the same distance from the Atlantic and a lot of mornings my truck has light coating of salt residue on it when the wind is blowing in off the ocean.

they are now 30 months "old" & growing

[Muggnz]

they are now 33 months rusty

If they were bead blasted and rust free looks like primer and that paint would be a realy good choice for rust control.

the painted one is holding up really well, and i am guessing the rust on it was already under the paint when painted.

[Muggnz]

the painted one was rust free when painted. Several hours work with a wire brush attached to a mains powered drill did the job.

it still hurts watching very rare old Mini wheels rusting away in the interest of science

[Muggnz]

strange, I thought that the place where they were first & most prolifically sold, would have them in excessive abundance

[starleen2]

So are we going for the five year test?

[Muggnz]

I think they'll last a lot longer than that. Even if it's only rust holding the left one together.

36 months
