Aerosol painting!
Hey all, well ... at last managed to procure a curvy solo seat conversion for very reasonable money, it is however currently painted yellow and I need to paint it Y7E pearl jay blue (the fastest colour!!). I've been trawling through the net trying to find anyone that sells or can mix this paint for me in aerosol form and up till now it's not been successfull.
Does anyone here have any idea or can recommend where I can get this paint from? Preferably without it costing silly money too. Thanks for any advice. |

Re: Aerosol painting!
define silly money...
https://tinyurl.com/ya7suf5y (Amazon 400ml, 3 aerosols: base coat, main colour and lacquer £66). You will need 2k lacquer to protect against fuel spills which is, of course, extra. http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/mot...lacquer2K400ml Here's a direct link to the RS page: http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/sho...10597&10050=on

Re: Aerosol painting!
I'm guessing "silly money" amount is in proportion to what you paid for the part and how little paint you need. RS paints is the best best, but not cheap.

Re: Aerosol painting!
That's not so bad tbh, everything I found up to this point has be north of £90! For a couple of cana of aerosol paint !!
Not going to need 2k as I don't intend spilling fuel over the rear seat hump (that's what is being painted). Looked on Anazon earlier an they said they don't have it in stock and not sure if they ever will again! So ... dead end there. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated.

Seat hump cost was not important tbh, just trying to get my head around how much aerosols are... it's been a very long time since I painted anything and couldn't believe the price increase! Or maybe it's because I'm a dinosaur and still live in the 70's with £, shillings n pence. Haha. |

Re: Aerosol painting!
I've used halfords custom mix before to do a panel. It was £9 and good enough to trick a leasehire appraiser.
I took them Ford's paint code and tey mixed it up into an aerosol.

Re: Aerosol painting!
bike colours on the bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/bikecolou...l?_storecat=16
i have used them and they are good quality. as with all colour matching with older paint to new paint dont expect a perfect match. |

Re: Aerosol painting!
Thanks all for your input, links and suggestions, I now have several options, I probably will visit halfords at some point as they are just 5 mins away n see what they can do, faling that I'll contact one of the other specialist sites.
Many thanks again peeps. |
