umbro Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 get 5 litres off ebay and roller it on, alot better than cheap spray cans cheap spray cans have poor coverage meaning you have to buy more and if its going over yellow it will take you forever with cheap cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) couple of sellers on eGay still do low reflexion ex-UK military paint, I bought a 5Ltr can when I played with the idea, its usually fully synthetic paint so needs to be thinned for spraying with a decent thinner but worked ok after some experimentation with mixes on my old ST rear bumper. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25364.jpg Though a little more tricky to get a nice even finish (because you cant do much in the way of after spraying correction work) it isnt as difficult as most would like to think..... you sorta have to look at it a a "get it right in one go or start from scratch".....saving grace is that you can do it one panel at a time and almost guarantee a solid colour match every single time. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25365.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25366.jpg Edited January 5, 2012 by shawdreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
