    Acylic should be fine, if it's an ally frame you will be using acid etch primer won't you, the normal stuff is useless on ally.

    Probably because it's an aerosol with harmful contents so carriers might ship it separately

    Did my last one with some Rustoluem from B&Q turned out spot on (i used hammered finish)

    One can was enough.

    Refurbished 3 sets of fork lowers with Hammerite, 1 with hammered black, one with hammered white, and one with smooth white.

    Never bothered priming, never had a problem with the stuff, just sand down and key all the surface, quick and simple.

    Most cheap paint has crap coverage and you need a squillion coats.
