Hammerite

(1/4) > >>

roscoe:
Got a new central heating boiler installed and they've run a copper pipe all the way up the outside of the front of the house.

Since our house is white, this stands out like a sore thumb.

Will hammerite work ok on copper pipe? Do I need to use hammerite undercoat first?

Budgie:
I think I'd go for the undercoat, saves getting up there to do it again if it doesn't stick.  :wink:

Thinking about it, why have they put the pipe there in the first place?
If it carries cold water then surly it stands a chance of freezing in the winter with no insulation on it and if it carries hot water then it'll be cold by the time to gets to where ever its going??  :-k

Could be a vent pipe or an overflow..........but you can use gloss paint as long as you use undercoat.

leo:
white undercoat and a gloss will do the trick  i wouldnt bother with hammerite  :?

is it a gas/water or overflow  pipe ?  

if water id lag it with foam

roscoe:
Mmmmm, I think it's the gas supply pipe, but now I'll have to find out. They routed it this way to avoid having to rip up all the floors downstairs, said it was the simplest option.

Thanks for the tips on the paint.
