Hi Dan,

They can mix primers and laquers too. I always use Halfords plastic primer for body work and as yet have had no adverse reactions.
Hope you have sucess in your Halfords.
For anyone else the paint is acrylic cellulose based. So most auto stores should be able to do it.

Cheers,

Paul.

Great tip browner, thanks I didn't know about their mixing-service, we have Hallfords here in Belgium too, I'll go ask if they have the same service as well.
Just don't forget to use a good primer when using real automotive paints...

Hi All,

Made a fantastic dicovery today. Many of you may already know this, but some may not. I was in Halfords today getting some bits and bobs and got talkig to one of the staff about paints. They can mix any colour you want, literally 1,000's, for all cars. So you can get an exact authentic colour for your model. The best thing is they will make to your requirements, ie. I had them them mix it thin enough to shoot straight through my airbrush. And you can spec your own custom colours.
I have used their spray cans with no problems and this is the same paint.
I got Ducati Rosso Red a450 for my next project. Once I've finished the Streetfighter I'll let you know the results.

Cheers,

Paul.Tongue [:P]
