It so happens that I do own a Kawa, and one of them green jackets as well. Hammerite however is not one of the Kwacker paint suppliers

If them bloody tool importers & retailers were not ripping off us locals, I may have bought the stuff locally, instead making the trolleys and going to import most of the tools myself. One local importer as an example: A very specific tool trolley sells for 351 British Pounds including their Vat retail, the locals wants between R6400 and another retailer wants R 8900 ex Vat! Ripoff!!!! And it is not made in Britan, they also import the stuff.

A very comprehensive set of tools in the UK, same brand, R13 500, locally R 30 119.00 ex Vat!!! I got this in writing from the retailer as a quote. Madness, therefore I will import the stuff myself.

So do I. Now you know why I love orange!






Good point on the Hammerite supplier though....

Finished painting the floor Rgrds

What did you use for the floor, and how tough is it, need to do my garage floor as well, and all the stuff off the shelf at our local builders/cashbuild etc does not look tough enough to me...

Post us a pic of the final product , looks nice and smooth..

This is tuff paint, made by PPG. It is a 2 part water based epoxy, fuel, oil and other harsh chemicals don't harm it. It is smooth and cleans easily as almost nothing can stick to it. 5 liters covers about 30-40 meters, I got about 30 meters per tin. It is expensive tho, paid R1300 for 10L. This stuff is the beez neez, it seals the slab so moisture cannot get in. Remember concrete is porous, so leave mild steel on concrete and it will rust.

I see that the steak was also done nicely complete with a goblet of red wine - well deserved as the place is looking really great!
