This is a once off for those who need to paint metal, new or old and some that may have rust on as well.
Note, read the lable, there is a lot of info to understand before you use this new product from Duram.
DTM stands for ' Direct to Metal ' its a new product and made here in South Africa as a replacement for another well known brand of metal paint from the UK, would it do the same I asked myself?
I used the Smooth Black, this small tin did three Imp oil fiter canisters, the crank pully, an oil sump, a British Seagull Forty Plus petrol tank , also a wheel nut spider and half the can is still left!
I used a spray gun on a low pressure, the thinner required is Xylene which is what International Paints 220 thinner is made from so I had it ex stock.
The coverage and finish is better than the imported product, it drys faster , I was told by the salesman its half the price too!
Proudly made in South Africa!
