Online auto paint suppier
Hi,
After spraying my bike a lovely candy perl red (Ford Nouveau in cans), I've decided to do my JBA Falcon in the same red since I have gone right
of the Roso red it's in just now.
I got paint from Halfords (some kind of acrylic I think, thinner smelt of nail varnish remover), crazily they could not provide me with thinners or
even tell me what they were to go with it so I had to improvise.
So does anyone know of a reliable company that I can buy ready mixed paint and the thinners for it, preferably off the net?
Cheers

A few ebay sellers do cellulose and thinners but a local car spares place would be a lot cheaper. Their thinners are £6.** +p&p for 5 litres  I
pay £3 for the same
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I buy all of my paints from this ebay seller.
e-buy-paint-equipment
First class service. Any colour of your choice mixed. Reasonable prices.
Hell of a lot cheaper than my local suppliers. I have two both are next to useless.
Their equipment is also god quality & value.

hmm perhaps my local one is run by morons, I did point out to them that it made little sense selling paint for a spray gun and not keeping the
thinners to go with it. Pity as their paint tends to be a very close match.

I bought some sprays from paints4u.com and they were a perfect match to my 2 pack Pug yellow.

Not sure how they are on price though but seemed fair enough.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.
