... in YELLOW.

Everywhere advertises it in their stores... but NO ONE can order it "it's not on the system sir"...

Tried Homebase, B&Q, Wickes, Focus, Wilkinsons... and even online... but no joy so far!

It IS available, as it's in the brochures... and you can't buy from Hammerite directly it seems...

Suggestions on a postcard to the usual address...

I can only find yellow in smooth finish, not hammered. I'm not sure they even do it in yellow hammered...?

Try:

www.chulmleigh-hardware.co.uk/

and search for hammerite.

Cheers people... can now get on and order some!

"Yellow?" you ask... fear not, it's not for the TVR...

Went to go and order it from here... only their website doesn't have a secure server for card transactions!

So ring 'em up and place an order ... you know over the phone, you'll have to TALK to someone, but it's quite painless I assure you!!

Are you taking it upon yourself to paint the Gatsos in your area?

Podie, I am off to Halfords this evening to get some Autosol and there is a B&Q and a Do It All next door (bloody strip malls) so I'll have a look there if you want.

Matt.

Eventually bought some from Halfords... walked in and found a single 250ml tin sitting there... which also saved me the cost of P&P...
