I am building an steam loco from a kit & am about to paint the smoke box.
My first thought was to use U-Pol Etch primer, but looking on the Halfords site it did not recommend this for adhering to brass and recommend using "Hammerite special metals" primer.This primer is OK for the smokebox but it is quite thick and I think I would have problems using it on the main body
I bought "Halfords very high temperature" spray paint for the top coat and on the instruction it says do not use primer
Has anybody got experience of using these paints ? or advice on a suitable alternatves,
:thinking:
