I used it on my current fenders, which I'm now throwing out.
I'm sure guys who really know how to apply the stuff get great results, but it was kind of funky for me. It sprayed on kind of okay, but chipped real easily afterwards. Granted, maybe I also didn't prime perfectly, but it didn't quite spray on the way it looks on the sample top for it.
Ira,
I bought a quart of hammered enamel at wally world and brushed it on.
No chipping problems with mine.
Are your fenders galvanized?

My fenders are the Northern Tool ones that are supposedly paint-ready, no priming necessary.
But I didn't think you could brush it on and still get that "hammered" effect. I thought you HAD to spray it. Plus, all I ever saw of this stuff was in a spray can. You saw it in a can for brushing?
Mine was gold colored, and when sprayed properly, gives you this extra texture to it.
Like I said, it didn't go on horribly, but this was for my fenders--and I wasn't that impressed with the overall look of it. I expected more. For a frame, I'm sure it's fine. It's probably fine for fenders TOO, with more skilled hands. But you gotta be pretty good to match that texture sample on the can top. That doesn't happen by accident. If you overspray here, underspray there, it's all over.
