You need a metal primer, an undercoat and a gloss.
Alternatively, use Hammerite Smooth, which effectively does the samethng.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -

Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
