I bought Hammerite Silver from my local home supply megabox.
I used paint remover purchased from same megabox.
I used steel wool with the paint remover to get all the crud out of the
nooks and crannies.
My lid had a couple of dents out near the ends. I am sure they were from a
hood touching due to the use of a Hi Rise manifold. I filled the dents in
with spot putty and sanded. It took about 3 tries with the spot putty and
sanding before it was really smooth. Then I put a coat or two of self
etching primer from Eastwood. Followed by several coats of Hammerite.
