Using Hammerite Hammertone...

[Kick]

I have been doubting lately how to finish the back, sides and neck on my LP-1MQ kit.

I already have a can of Rustin's Grainfiller and my initial plan was to use this as a filler where I would add some red stampink (and perhaps a drop of black stampink) to the paste to get a dark reddish filler.

However, a couple of days ago, while searching the web on a rainy day, I came across some images of guys who had used Hammerite Hammertone on their guitarbodies. And I must say it looked surprisingly cool. So I started trying imagining how my Red Widow would look with the Hammertone Black or Red on it... And it is tempting

Is there anyone here who has gone that path before? And if so, how did it work out? Or in general, what is your opinion about using this product?

Hi Kick, I have used killrust hammertone on steelwork before( trailer, steel posts ), I have used as a spraycan as well as through a gun and found it can be a little difficult to get a really nice even finish, just my experience. would look cool as hell though, what colour were you thinking.

someone did a hammertone finish ..on a EX if I remember?
I love the stuff and use it on office furniture and bench tops but you do always have that slightly ripply surface with it.
