Mistake with Hammerite

ial]Today
I removed the silver-coloured Hammerite paint I used on some
galvanised parts of my LR Series 2A with an extreme stripping
agent (after I removed them of course). I painted these parts a
few years ago to make my LR “more beautiful”. I realized only
recently that this is not done with an old LR. The stripped
parts and the LR itself are now much more beautiful with the
worn with age galvanized look. Please forgive me the mistake I
made in the past

Inherited two like that bud. Whether it will get cleaned off
like yours however will be another matter.
Well done BTW. :smilewide:
Oh, welcome along chap!!! :lightblb:

Paninted galv' is one of my pet hates.
I aquired a painted screen once, and after an hour or so
cleaning it all off, it was mint underneath.
Why they painted over perfect galv' is a mystery to me. ???

I had the same thing but a wire wheel made short work of
cleaning it all off and they were good a new when i had
finished.

I have just had to paint strip all the galv on my series 3,
previous owner thought he was improving it :smiley-furious:

Hello All
Sorry to jump on this thread. PO painted the galvanised parts on
mine. What's the best way to return to galvanisation without
stripping the landy down? Thanks

It seems as though there is an epidemic of painted galv!
Mine has the same - a PO painted it all matt grey - looks like
primer, but I've no idea what type of paint it actually is.
Keen to get some tips on how to remove it from the cappings /
windscreen surround /filler cap / guttering while it's in place,
without damaging the surrounding paint.
Cheers,
Mark,
Wellington NZ.

I painted mine but only because it was all brown and manky and
couldnt afford to get it re-galved, next time the roofs off i
may indulge though
