Zinc platting

[TheGarbageHunter]

Great info. Hammer paint does look great but since I do not have a work shop, YET, I cannot paint at home  '> .

This time around I will zinc and powder, But I have a deal worked out to have my Vendo 81 restored later this year, plan on hammer paint several parts.

Will post pics when powder and zinc parts are in, about 2-3 weeks.

Hammer paint it with a spray can. It looks the same and is just as tough. That is all that I do on my machines and it looks great!

I have been following this post with some interest and the linked ones.

I know we have hammerite paint here in the UK in spray cans and I have found Hammertone listed on the internet in tins also in the UK.

Are Hammertone and Hammerite the same product???

I agree with Eric. I used the the can spray (Cant remember if it was Krylon or Rustoleum) on my pepsi slider 3 years ago still perfect and it runs everyday.  I also used it on my 56 square top 2 years still perfect and it cools everday.  I just dont see the added expense unless you are in the restoration business of selling these machines...

Dave, They are pretty much the same. Those are just names from two different companies. I have foung that most all hammered paints are just as good.
