I now have a new roll bar which I want to be the same colour as the chassis. I have tried a few local powdercoaters and only one of them had yellow powder and it was completely different shade.
Hammerite smooth yellow is a very close match but their spray cans are poor. So i'm wondering if i should buy a tin of the stuff and spray it with a proper gun. Has anyone here ever tried it or know what thinners to use? What primer or just trust that it can paint straight to metal.?

You might want to check with a professional, I think once you have used a spray gun with hammerite you can never get it completely clean again, something to do with the silicone in hammerite.
Mark Allanson is the man to quantify this one. Chris, have you tried asking Sylva directly? They're moving into a new Unit about 20miles north of Donnington at the moment. Prior to the donnington show this weekend, they're offering breakfast at new unit at on Sunday followed by a convoy to the show. Steve was trying to get JP down for the meet. If you want more details, mail me Stephen.
Do NOT concentrate spray in one spot. Apply coats for maximum protection and allow 15 minutes between coats. Between coats invert can and spray for 2 seconds to avoid blockages. Touch dry 15 minutes, recoat after 15 minutes. Add another product. I sprayed a white Transit I had until not long ago with Hammerite Smooth and Five litres set me back six or seven quid. Not too shiny, but I suppose you'd get a better result with a better grade thinner, still much cheaper than the Hammerite thinner.
But for odd jobs, it's a really cheap way to thin Hammerite paint. Sorry, Hammerite board! Post by bmcecosse » Fri Aug 14 am Handy to know - because it's often far too thick even for brush application.
Did it spray ok - without running all over the place? I find it useful to use an initial very thin mix when any welding is ready for painting - like a pre-wash kind of thing, penetrating any little gaps and picking up dust, doubling up as the first primer coat. And yes again, it sprayed very nicely indeed. Avoiding runs has more to do with skill in the mix than with the materials used. As I wrote, not high gloss, but looking in keeping with the age of the van. On the subject of painting, I once thinned Sikkens Autoflex with household turps, brushed it on and got a really class finish.
Once polished, it looked like a respray.
