[turkeyfan]

Hi.

Do you know if you can buy black hammerite paint in Kalkan, for painting our wrought iron railings?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, we used for our railings & security grills.

Thank you.  Which hardware shop did you get it from?

You can get matt & gloss finish, It's called polli??, can't remember the full name. You'll also need to buy the thinners that goes with it. We got ours from the new hardware shop in the Yali complex. Musa is very helpful (sorry if name not spelt correctly) If he's not got something in stock he will get it for you.
We always use a small roller it goes on much easier.

Thanks for the info - that saves us bringing over a tin in the suitcase and gives the the OH another job to do next time we're over.

Have you thought about the quick easy option?  (depending on how much railing you have)take out some cans of Hammerite spray !! quick clean and easy..B&Q and Wilkinsons have it.. iv'e used both and the spray wins hands down..........

Genuine Hammerite & thinners available at 'Goksular' hardware store in Fethiye.

And try the hardware store opposite to ADDA supermarket / Cati restaurant

Paint, ain't, supposed to be carried on a plane.
Likewise airosols and thinners.
If you do,
It's up to you.
But you could be eating HMP dinners.
Also no M&S hot chicken curry in your hand baggage.

Local stuff is called 'Polimetal' and it is just as easy to use as Hammerite. If you are doing thin railings, try to get hold of a 50mm roller. I find the local 100mm ones tend to fall apart. Also, look out for cheap 25mm brushes in your local surplus shop, great for touching in where the roller can't get. I bought a load for 20p each and don't bother cleaning them.
