| No need to go South. All of the paint shops sell it. It is the Turkish equivalent of hammerite and it does exactly the same job. I did my railings with it 2 years ago and no probs. |

| All, I recently had all my railings done at my place, through Glenco, they brought the hamirite in the south. did a good job as well, several coats were put on, looks a lot better, railings should not rust now, good for several years |

| Hello MC really not advisable and is against airline regulations, honestly better to purchase it here either in TRNC or over the border, it is available here but at a premium a 2.5ltr tin will cost you about £35 or at today's rate 77ytl, on the other side you can purchase it for 36/38euros about £29/£30 |

| Greg, It's not really worth driving to the South for that differential is it. Cost you more in time & petrol to get there, unless your going anyway. Any idea how far a 2.5 ltr tin will go on standard (if there is such a thing) outside balcony railings. ......and do/can you thin it down at all or just use it straight out of the Tin? MC |

| You can use straight from the tin, mini roller works best on railings, a quarter of the time than with a brush. |

I sent out a tin of black Hammerite with my missus last month. Thank Christ for that, she would have coped it rather than me. Bloody shower! Nobody tells me anything! Lem |

| Tayf will be selling Hammerite net year as well as Dulux. I was speaking with the owner and he also told me that they sell a metal paint which is the same if not better than Hammerite ( not a turkish company). This company have apparently bought out hammerite. I have bought that paint three years ago and it is still doing fine |

| i bought 3 tins of silver smooth hammerite from the large store behind Ikea in Lefkosia, think it`s called something like "homeland"and it wasn`t overpriced. good store that stocks loads of nice stuff. maybe a combined visit to there and Ikea would be worthwhile. |
