That said, here's my recommendation: Every third Thursday, I get an almost overwhelming desir; /html/british-cars/1994-02/msg00139.html (8,450 bytes)

Hammertone is a smooth finish that dries with a mottled pattern and a very slight texture. The pattern resembles metal that has been tapped all over with a; /html/british-cars/1994-02/msg00208.html (9,236 bytes)

I *think* it is some kind of moisture-cure polyurethane. It is impressively hard to get off one's fingers, I know that.

I think I (WRG) threw a monkey wrench into the works. I mentioned Hammerite as an example of hammertone paint. The original poste; /html/british-cars/1994-02/msg00228.html (12,392 bytes)

I assume you are welding in the replacement half pans, not the whole bigosh pan.

I think the dampening is just so the rag doesn't soak all the carrier out of the polish.
