I have some cast aluminium chairs and a table - they have flaky white paint on them. I was thinking of using a power washer to remove loose paint and then Hammerite.
Any better ideas?

as long as you use the special metal primer first, not tried aluminium but the cast iron one I painted 4 or five years ago out lasted the wooden slats
I had mine grit blasted and powder coated about 10 years ago and they still look as good as new.

Did it cost much? Did you dis-assemble them? What type of establishment does powder coating?
I did have to dismantle them, but I don't know the cost. It was a return favour by the bloke with the factory next door, who sent a lot of stuff for powder coating, so he just stuck mine in with a normal run. Powder coating come under the general heading of metal finishing, but that covers a variety of processes, so not all metal finishers do powder coating.
