Is Hammerite good enough at such high heat? I remember on my first car painiting the tip of the exhaust with it and it bubbled pretty badly under the heat

Cheers,

well, exhaust must get hotter than hubs, anyway never had problems in the past, and i also know of a few people who have used it with no issue either

How long does it take to dry?

How long does it take to dry?

it says touch dry in an hour, but whilst i was doing on side the other was drying, just been out and you can touch it and no stickiness and i will be driving it in an hour with no issues (from past experience)

i basically did the sides, i didnt do the faces as wanted to put the alloys straight back on
