| The list of uses for the KINGCOAT
high gloss enamels is virtually endless, from
these resprayed 200 litre drums, to garden
gates, wheelbarrows, and so on. |

METALFIX / 1000. KINGCOAT and EASYTREAD
I just thought that I would drop you a few lines on your METALFIX
and KINGCOAT products.
As you are aware I had trialed 4 different rust converters, in various rust and
salt water environs over some months, that was in 1992. It was then that I decided
to use METALFIX to coat the entire hull of my 14 metre yacht
built of steel in Broome.
We coated the hull in strict accordance with your instructions, both inside and
out. |

This involved electric wire brushing all loose
surface rust, then applying 2 generous coats of METALFIX by brush. We have
since
found that a medium priced Wagner airless spray works a treat better.
I must say I had some apprehension on using this system but I have well and truly
lost all that. I coated the METALFIX with four coats of primer
(2 pack) and 2 coats of KINGCOAT top coat. The application of
the 2 pack was very amateurish, however it still lasted some 9 years over METALFIX.
The astonishing thing was as the two pack was pressure blown off with water, that
damn METALFIX (in the main) was as good as new. You have my photos
to look at and wonder. We just patched some of the worst of it with new METALFIX
and coated it again, now a year later no problems yet.
Now this damn KINGCOAT of yours has been abused in all states
of application and use, by me and its probably the most versatile paint I've used.
You won't like this, but for quick fixes I have used it on the topside's over
bare metal so many times that our last complete topside sand down was not primed
at all just 4 coats of KINGCOAT over bare metal, and other sanded
paints. It's still perfect after 12 months totally in the briney.
I use it now below the water line, in patches on modifications, and no problems
to date. Mostly as a quick fix till later, but it gives no sign of breaking up.
I've been very happy with your paints and could go on and on with the abuse that
has been bestowed on your paints, but you should show some interest in this letter,
knowing of the performance of these products after 10 years of trialing, and use.
Yours truly,

P.S. Your EASYTREAD decktread after this time is also great and
very forgiving for patch ups. Also 3M's plastic scourer on a 7" sander is
the best way to mechanically remove METALFIX paints, and KINGCOAT
sands normally after some 2 - 3 weeks in hot climes. |
