Anyone tested this and can give their thopughts?
Thanks,

Make sure you cover anything so you dont' get overspray. Use Alum foil to mask off hard to mask places and items. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 | I never had any good luck with large areas. I've used it on heaters and radio's and they came out fine. But, it worked with Project Helen, so give it a go. If it doesn't come out, just repaint.

If you are fussy about it, you will find that the hammered affect varies with how it is applied. You can only keep a certain size of area "wet" at one time to allow it to flow together. On the other hand the bumpy texture tends to hide imperfections. I think the finish was originally intended to look good but absorb some rough service. I have seen lab equipment with a similar finish. | | |
