Machine spray paint

[Grahams]

I've found the unused cans, but consulting the paint sprayer opposite me in our yard he says that they won't be any good from 2013. What they do have is enough detail for your local paint shop to make you up the right colour. He did mention a couple of things. As has already been mentioned, if your paint might have faded it is best to take a panel or even the whole machine to the paint shop to colour match it. He also warned that unless you have a proper spray gun it won't blend in, especially if you use spray cans. He spends a fair proprortion of his time respraying bit of cars that owners have tied to touch up with spray cans and look so bad they pay him to sort out. He spends five to ten times the amount of time on prep that he does on painting.
As has also been mentioned, I went in the post office to send something earlier and asked about sending paint and they say neither Royal Mail nor Parcel force will carry it. You need to use a courier.

Thanks for effort you went to anyway Graham, i’m only wanting to give the ballast a quick touch up where some brash got it, nothing major!

I got paint from main dealer to re-paint the ballast on my DX80r and was a terrible match . After all the prep time nd careful planning to turnout not being a good match was disappointing
