Hi I've got a few scuffs/scratches on my aluminium black gutters. How can I fill these? Car touch up paint or any other suggestions please???
I just need to touch up small bits here and there, nothing major/or large. I just want to make sure the touch up lasts a while and not just weeks due to rain etc....???
A good primer for aluminum I find is Rustoleum Hard Hat Adhesion Primer Aerosol,but there are others primers like Hammerite Special Metals Primer which is water based & suitable for aluminmum, but haven't never used that.
Alli is one of those strange metals like galvanised that is hard to get good adhesion to so a primer is recommended, but if you just want to try a touch up you really want a satin finish something like Hammerite might be too glossy. I have used this on iron gutters and it weathered pretty well. http://www.blackfriar.co.uk/product/satin-black/
Hmmm, I was thinking of something like this? http://www.halfords.com/motoring/pa.../halfords-satin-black-scratch-chip-repair-pen
If it's powder coated I would paint it with Bedec Barn Paint in semi gloss black, touch up will match in well or x 2coats of Barn paint over the lot after a wash to clean it.
A touch-up with hammerite should be ok for scratches. And the black gloss probably a good match for the guttering.
