For SCC No.2 Brown, see Kerry at RR Services, there is a Brown with my name on that was matched by a true sample by the paint manufacturer. regards, Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, The normal Semi-Matt, which has a slight sheen on it but once cured it looks authentic. Problem with a dead flat matt is that a spot of oil or grease marks it for life, with semi-matt it is more durable. Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree the matt is terrible for showing oily fingerprints and the like. Cheers, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
