On those I would use smootrite ( Hammerite with out the hammered finish ) and a brush. It smooths itself.... couple of coats, job done

Do you think I should sand them down first to bear metal?

I used Smooth Hammerite on my rear valance.
although the surface was not smooth at all because of all the sanding and removing of Rust, The finish was still VERY smooth! :tongue:

I bought some Hammerite Smooth Yesterday so hopefully that will do the trick, I sanded it down to remove the paint and now its as smooth as a babys bum :grin:

Could I use this hammerite stuff for touch ups on the exterior bodywork?, My car is black and the hammerite stuff I have bought is black aswell. Would you be able to see the difference and will it withstand the elements like the 2pack does?

You can do to stop it from rusting
depending upon size and the location of the stonechip you might see a slight difference
