rambo1969 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Go to your local car paint supplier, I use synthectic satin finsh. Can be thinned with white spirit and I use it straight from the tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatters Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Go to your local car paint supplier, I use synthectic satin finsh. Can be thinned with white spirit and I use it straight from the tin. Been and asked locally but they need a paint mixing code, does anyone know what number I need ?

Stone Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 NATO Green is BS381C, Shade #285 (or RAL #6014). The Marcus Glenn stuff is pretty good - slightly lighter than the original shade but you can only really see it with the light against it. If the whole vehicle was done in the same colour it'd look a very close match. Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambo1969 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 When I first got into the mv scene, I used various paints from various suppliers, it was a bit hit and miss to be honest. Now I stick with my local car paint supplier, ive used nato green/sand and various other colours and have had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Prontopaints stuff is excellent! White spirit based polyurethane, dosen't react with anything else, good depth of colour, good coverage etc, couldnt recommend them highly enough. Oh, and really quick on the postage, even to the north of scotland! Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 the staff at Pronto-paints used to work for Mason paints, and are working to the Mason's formulas etc. It is very, very good stuff. Although it can be mixed with white spirit, you really should use their own recommended thinners, as white spirit can be quite variable on quality depending on supplier. When I first started painting, we used to use white spirit from Mason's, it came in a 5 litre tin and cost £20 + vat 15 years ago, it was much purer than the stuff you get from B&Q etc. Another good supplier is 'Williamsons' up at Ripon, not cheap, but it's all quality stuff, and the guys in technical know their stuff, so if you aren't sure what you'll need, they'll tell you.
