Hi All.  Happy New Year to everyone on this great site🎉🤗🌞  My other half will be coming to La Mata next week to do a couple of DIY jobs in our flat here.  Would like a little help on where to buy paint for metal railings in La Mata itself.  He won't be hiring a car this time so need to be as near to La Mata as poss.  Thank you all in anticipation. 👍🏽

Rather than Hammerite, I prefer the Spanish equivalent Oxirite.

Hi Jim. Is this something that is available locally in La Mata.  If so do you know where to purchase it?  

Thank you for the heads up on the Spanish equivalent.

Sorry, I don't know La Mata. But from my experience ferrets and paint shops normally stock one or the other. Having two makes to choose from makes it easier to find a supplier, and if you want a coloured paint then you have a wider range to choose from.

Hammerite's OK in colder weather, but I wouldn't use it in summer as the solvent evaporates too quickly, so it's difficult to keep a wet edge or avoid brush marks.
