"In the future, anyone considering hammerite, use the spray, or at least thin it down. It is an interesting fluid, thick as all hell when being manipulated, then it runs like crazy. Thinner coats would be much better."
This gave me a flashback to the 1970's!
A local house painter recruited me for a job, had me do grunt work, and some piece work: I painted the hand railings and fixtures with lacquer, "thinned" to a 1:1 ratio "to make it flow (with a brush)."
When I repainted my bicycle, I thinned the paint to the same ratio and brushed three coats. The neighborhood kids thought I sprayed it.
