Blue Hammer Finnish Paints

[peps1]

Hey guys, looking for a Blue Hammer Finnish Paint available here in the UK that is close to the Fuzz Face JH reissue. 



Iv tried both the Hammerite Hammered Dark Blue, and Plastikote Hammer Tool Box Blue...but both are to dark then what im after.

Any one found something near to what im after?

use the hammered as a first coat for texture, then overspray the color you want... ?easier to find the color you want in reglar spray paint

Very true, but as its for a production run of peddles would be nice to keep the price down buy using one type of paint then two......but if no alternative is found, cunning plan!

perhaps you can mix some white Hammerite into your blue to get the exact collour tone you want?..

As the white is not a metallic finnish, I fear the differences could be more then just pigmentation and not mix.

But I do have a set of mixing caps

Hammertone paint is a chemical reaction. The process is a separation effect.
If you mix a non hammer paint with a hammered one it will throw of the reaction
and not hammer (how do I know this    ).
That fuzz face may well be a powder coating process. It looks like a vein effect
more than a hammer effect.  Same texture and veining as this (which is a copper"Vein")



I would be willing to bet that the FF pictured is powder coated.

Having said this. I have had good results mixing spray hammer paints.
Mix blue and silver and you should get something that is lighter and retains the hammer
aesthetic.

Does it have to be "Finnish", or could it be made in the U.S.?.

Nordic or nothing!
