Check out Hammerite "Hammered Finish" paint too. It creates a nice Hammered (very slightly textured) finish and is pretty strong stuff. I painted my custom built Jeep bumpers with it, and my foosball table. |

*edit* hatrick beat me to it! I'd have thought I was the only person on this board that had EVER heard of the stuff, since it DEFINITELY ain't cheap! Indeed I can offer a suggestion! The stuff is similar to the Rust-Oleum hammered finish, but this stuff is used on lots of tools (think big table saws/drill presses/shaper tables etc). I know it sounds like it's made for metal, but I've used it on wood, MDF, and LAMINATE! The stuff is called "Hammerite", and seems to me to be a cross between epoxy and paint, and is tough as friggen nails. It's a two-part paint, IIRC, and you'd better make sure you like the color, because I haven't figured out a way to strip it short of a hammer and a cold chisel ;D Offhand, though, I dunno if they have a distributor in the U.K. but if they do, after you've "experienced" it, I guarantee you'll find other uses for it. I'm not positive, but it appears as if Grizzly Tool Manufacturing uses the stuff on all of their tools. |

I use Rustoleum's Hammered paint on my coin doors. It gives them a great texture and they look as good as new. I thought about doing a cab with either a hammered finish or the "rock" type texture that can be applied. |

Thanks for the suggestions, dudes. We do indeed have Hammerite in the UK, in fact they're bloody huge! (Yaaboo sucks to you Drew! :angel:) I was thinking about this a while back, and I might do a few test paints on some old MDF. I'm going for a real grungy industrial feel for my cab anyway, and I think a touch of this may look real neat! Now, what paint will I use to make rust patches... ;D |

How about Spray Rust? They make THAT too. |
