I wouldn't myself.

In my experience Hammerite is quite brittle. It's also fairly hard to achieve a really even finish - the "hammered" look can be quite variable depending on how it's applied. I've seen some cars painted in it and I reckon it looks pretty hack.

Use a flat olive drab army style paint.
Its cheap looks ok and has many beneficial qualities.

I am painting my LWB, ended up with drab olive, personally I think its too dark, what I asked for and what I got is much different, but once tinted, no returns, damit, this is the second mix, so, drab olive it is.
