Ruston-Hornsby Light Apple Green Lining Enamel

Purchased this to renovate my collection of old G clamps. I was advised over the phone to go for the semi gloss as this is in keeping with Record's colour scheme. I was pleasantly surprised how much coverage you get from a 1/2 litre tin. I've managed to paint 8 clamps, 3 large vices and a wood turning lathe with 3/4 of the tine. The paint contains good pigmentation so I found a single coat on bare metal is sufficient with most castings. You need to be well prepared and work quickly on large smooth surfaces to avoid the paint dragging. (this maybe down to climatic conditions) For such surfaces a few drops of white spirit helps prolong the wet edge. This could effect the gloss finish so experimentation is advisable I found by dispensing smaller quantities in yogurt pots keeps the original paint tin clean and uncontaminated. Runs can occur, so advisable to paint in the flat until the paints skin hardens NB. Spray finish maybe more suitable for large smooth areas.
