Hammerite metal master

[sploosh]

Anyone used one of these?

I'm not really into gadgets, but this looks cool and would probably mean I could paint bits of my car chassis that I can't get at with a brush.

Is it any good or just clever marketing?

Works like powder coating, same principle but uses liquid paints...me likes.

Cool gadget. Its called the Metal Master, yet it seems to be pronounced Metal Maaaaster. That alone has put me off.

I'm guessing it is a spray paint dispenser that uses static to attract paint all over the victim. I'd also guess it uses aerosols type paints at a fiver a tin?

The idea does appeal though, for painting my hot rod chassis, lots of nasty little corners to get into there...

The gun costs 40 quid, the paint refills are a tenner.

Electrostatic spray painting has been around a long time.

A home system is long overdue and to the enthusiast, that is certainly a worthy gadget.

Well done Hammerite.

This was on television a few weeks ago (the Gadget Show I think). It looked to work pretty well.

Why exactly? I just watched the demo vid and it seems to be going on ok. Naturally I presumed it would not give the same results as taking your time with convnetional paint but what makes it so bad?

Your gate isn't made of plastic by any chance is it?
