I picked up a can of Hammered today along with a couple of foam rollers to go with the foam brushes that Alyson (my wife) picked up for me yesterday. I had been trying to decide between black and gray and was leaning towards the gray. However, after visiting numerous stores, no one seems to carry the gray. So, black it was. I’ll be ordering up some gray for the remainder of the interior.
Rustoleum advertises this product as a “Unique hammered finish that stops rust and hides surface imperfections.” The only downside to this product is that you have to be careful applying it because it will create strings as it quickly starts drying. You have to go under the assumption that you’ll be doing a 2nd coat and only go over each spot once. The 2nd coat has to be done within 4 hours, otherwise you have to wait 7 days. I’ll be waiting due to a shortness of time today.
So far it’s turning out beautifully. Although the color is called black, it turns out dark gray.
The other development is that I had purchased what I thought was a new passenger side piece that mounts to the engine and the motor mount on the other side. The piece itself is aluminum. The one on Bruiser had one of the tabs missing where it’s bolted to the engine, thus the need for a new one. Unfortunately the mount that I received was for the driver’s side. I’ll have to re-order the correct one.
