£6 i think, yeah, it is a lot don't think i'll need anything else from them though.
don't like postage charges ha ha. wasn't going to get my orange paint off ebay, but at £20 a litre, plus £8 post...

Miks15 - 1/12/09 at 11:23 PM

seems a bit steep, postage is always a killer!

thought you already had your orange paint?

Probably be cheaper in every other country

blakep82 - 1/12/09 at 11:33 PM

nah, i did it with rattle cans but they kept blocking up, and i'd get a better coat with the spray gun and compressor.
besides i've got a lot more bits to paint, so doing it with the compressor should work out cheaper and better. when i was in halfords today i meant to ask if they'd mix up by RAL number. but i forgot, as they didn't have what else i was after, and i got annoyed
