Does anyone use HOK paint, and if so, can you recommend a supplier ? I only paint infrequently, and was told by my local supplier ( in Hull ) this afternoon, that as Anglo Dutch in Doncaster no longer import it, they dont sell it any more.

I do wonder about Metalflakes marketing strategy. They don't seem to have moved with the times to offer a full paint system, in fact the opposite is true. They used to make various coloured primers, and airbrush size tins of paint, but these have all gone by the wayside. The UK site seems to have no...

Another vote for Barcoat, although it is a last resort, not a get out of jail. If you are looking to do a decent job, you are better off removing the problem paint, and starting again. The Barcoat will form the barrier you are looking for, but that doesnâ€™t mean you wonâ€™t have adhesion problems e...
