Aerosol paint, great service from a spot on company.
Friend of mine told me about this company, so took a trip down there today. I bought 1 x 400ml Pearl Canyon Yellow & 400ml White base coat. Cost me ?21, which I thought a bit steep, but when I asked the guy how long before I could pick it up he said "Give us a couple of minutes :o". True to his word, by the time we had paid, he came out with the 2 aerosols, so worth every penny. The colour match looks to be spot on.
The Company is B.S. Supplies. Price Street, Burslem, Stoke On Trent. Tel:- 01782 819638. They do colours for ALL Cars & Motorcycles, dont know whether they can deliver, but could be worth a call :) |

Sounds good, but the title of the thread sounds a bit like a cryptic crossword clue. :D

?21 pricey????
That's about ?10.50 a can - WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!!! When I was looking around for paint for my bike (YC2 Grand Candy Blue) ?10.99 was the best price I could find after seaching for a couple of weeks. And with YC2, you need to buy the silver bascoat as well. Blueto, is your bike YC2? If so, I very much doubt that you would never ever get a perfect colour match from a can from Halfrauds - What code was the paint you brought?. I've used two companies to buy from, and paints4u.com gave a perfect colour match. I don't want to name-and-shame the other company, but that can didn't match at all - it was more of a purple shade (nothing to do with how I sprayed it - even though it's a tri coat process).

Well if it was an undertray you painted, then fair enough, as the undertray is quite obsecure, and 'in the shade' and would look colour-matched to the naked eye, but it cannot be a perfect match never-the-less. YC2 uses a tri coat process when painting. You apply (0) the primer;
(1) the silver base coat (2) a transparent blue (3) Clear (Lacquer). To get the correct colour, the transparent blue must be applied showing the silver base coat in order to give off the candy-sparkling look. Chin |

Re: Aerosol paint, great service from a spot on company.
I have sprayed my bellypan & still have enough paint left to do my headlamp fairing & possibly my undertray - well, I can hope. But I am really pleased with the colourmatch. The bloke at B.S. was spot on, he told me it was a 3 part system & a Mica Pearl (which I haven't got the faintest what that means), he got the mix spot on. Now it's laquered it looks very nice :)
Oh thanks to the mods for changing the title |
