RAF blue paint sources?

[No Signals]

Anyone know of any places to try for the stuff? Dont need a vehicles worth amount, just a litre or so for a smallish panel. Ta!

Just go along to your local motor trade paint supplier, with the BS number and get them to mix a litre, in coach or synthetic paint. This can be brushed or sprayed and will cost about £10 a litre mixed.

with the BS number

 

OK I'm definitely in the right column here, so where am I going to find the correct BS number? :?

Hi No Signals

 

I found a paint shop in Sheffield that will mix up the paint to match the vehicle!

 

They can mix up any amount. You need to take them the vehicle.

 

Pm me and I will let you have the address.

Thanks for those pointers Richard. Chris pm sent. However I realise now just appropriate it is that I posted in this thread (i.e. me being stupid) as the panel is the tailgate and isnt metal. :oops: :whistle: However I shall persevere.
