I would not bother, use a good primer(Resin primer is best or a zinc primer), Gravitex and finish with 1 pack mixed body colour(Brush paint is fine and covers better).

That is what I did on the Sport shell that Edd now has...

I'm with NovaSport, no idea why you'd want to use Hammerite. I brushed on 2pack over stonechip and its a lovely finish.

Iain, when brushing 2k how long did you have before the brush/paint was setting?

Ages! I think I mixed it up with the specified amount of hardener and no thinners and don't remember it start going off before I'd finished.

Only problem with Hammerite is compatibility with other paints, it is very difficult if not impossible to paint over and can sometimes be hard to apply, it's like you are trying to paint over grease
