Title: Good Paint Shop Needed
Post by: Familyguy on August 18, 2008, 18:52:23 PM: Hi all, coming out to the villa for the first time and my father in law says i need to paint my ironwork as its peeling. I hate painting at the best of times, let alone when it's 40 degrees-anywho, I'd like to paint it with Hammerite cos I know if I do, I won't be painting it again for another 5 years! Does anyone know where I can get a tin of the sticky black stuff:D

The Turkish equivalent is ok, but not in the same league as the original

Post by: Eric on August 19, 2008, 08:01:39 AM: you can get genuine Hammerite in the B&Q/Yapi Market in Fethiye next to the Citroen Garage. It is downstairs on a separate stand. Only black or white when I bought some last year.

Post by: KKOB on August 21, 2008, 06:59:16 AM: Yep, outside balustrade and concrete paint !:D ;):D

It might not be grammatically right but ask for "Cimento Boya"

Post by: Familyguy on September 08, 2008, 20:02:18 PM: Well that was a tough job! Didn't use Hammerite and didn't need to. Turkish paint was just as good as anything I could buy in UK. Plenty of paint shops in Fethiye:D
