Can I use this on aluminium

I don't see why not,but aluminium is a difficult metal for paint to adhere to without a special primer. But aluminium does not rust in the same way that steel rusts. So,do you really need to use Mammerite ??

Can you paint it over rust and existing paintwork

You can paint over rust and existing paint, but it is better to remove any flaky paint or rust with a scraper and rub down excessive rust and paint with a wire brush and/or sand paper or other abrasive product before painting. If metal is particularly rusty, it will come through the paintwork eventually if the painted item is left outdoors exposed to the weather and will need painted every couple of years or so.

Hello, do I need to thin the pair for easy painting

No you don't need to thin it. Just give it a good stir before you use it, and wear old clothes, it sticks to everything.

Can i use this on a radiator

good morning product information Product Description Painting your car can be a long and laborious task at the best of times. Primer, undercoats and topcoats are needed and therefore you will have to purchase three different tins of paint to get the job done, until now. Hammerite Metal Paint can be applied directly onto rusty metal thanks to a formula that has been developed to be a primer, undercoat and topcoat in one. It gives a hammered effect finish which is smooth to touch and sheds water well whilst forming a barrier that not only seals out moisture but gives long lasting protection, both inside and out. Easy to use, apply it on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Comes in hammered dark green in a 250ml tin. The Hammerite range is designed to protect metalwork from humidity, rain and rust. Hope this helps
