chrispti Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Does anyone know of a cheap place to get some matt green paint (other than the Bay) as I want to re spray my jeep Ideally I want some quality paint, rather than some cheapo stuff that isn't very durable :( Many thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Autopaint International, thay have a branch in Gosport & probably Pompey. BS285 Nato green synthetic paint. Goes on a treat with a brush or roller, probably even better with a spray. Has lasted 10 years on my Lightweight and that's a matt finish, the gloss is even better. Just one thing, buy a large quantity at once, the colour is mixed locally and not all tins come out exactly the same, my tailgate, fitted more recently, is visibly a lighter, less "muddy" green than the rest of the bodywork. No connection, just a very satisfied customer. Oh, they only take cash or cheques, thy're basically a trade outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Trike? I can just see you on one of those little Triang kiddies tricycles! Yeah we used to have a few but i share one with the kids now .It saves on fuel and i cant fit my guns on the back anyway . I used to own a kawasaki gt550 hardtail trike , Great fun but it used to try and kill me at every turn so i got rid. :( ( i think once i have picked my new/old car i would rather have a kiddies trike ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
