Lots of people have said the new Hammerite isn't as good as the old because it is low VOC.
I am not so sure. Painted an old trailer yesterday. Brushed on. Used 3L of smooth black. Didn't smell much at the time because it was 7C - hard work painting was just too thick.
Anyway got into work today - the stink in the warehouse is terrible. Really strong smell from the Hammerite. It is a 5000 sq foot warehouse with a 30' roof and very draughty and yet the place still stinks. Had to open the roller shutter in the end.
So is modern Hammerite really low VOC like they claim and worse than the old stuff?
I won't be using it on my new trailer of course - Jotun 87 aluminium epoxy on that.
