M,

Perhaps Hammerite's 'Direct to Rust' formula does not work 'Direct 
to Epoxy' it is after all, primarily for painting onto metal 
surfaces.

Coming from a boating background and having played around with a 
painted fibreglass/epoxy boat hulls in the past there are very few 
paints that will adhere to this type of surface, hence I suppose, 
the advent of coloured gel coats.

Only keeping it light hearted :-)

At the end of the day if you can get epoxy easily and in a colour 
that you are happy with then have a go, it's all about learning from 
experience.
