Another paint question
Bryanj:
From memory all the early metallics were 3 pack
1 metallic
2 clear colour
3 laquer
Menno:
Planet blue metallic is a straight metallic.
No candy.
So put on a ground coat - for instance grey.
Than simply spraypaint the planet blue metallic.
You can also use a spray can - aerosol for this.
Apply decal and clear.

This kind of info is what sets you aside from all other painters I have used Menno .. the willingness to share tech details and tips .. I phoned another painter I have probably spent £2.5k with over the years and he wouldn't even tell me the Ford white he used on one of my tanks.
I reckon you could make a half decent job of the PBlue metallic with RS Bikepaint aerosol and Spraymax 2k in a can clear. Not a cheap source of materials I know but I know it will yield good results.Aerosols have come on so much in the past ten years. I followed RS's instructions to lay the metallic on and flash off with a powerful hairdryer. Dont get their water based in an aerosol though as the paint splutter on a couple of cans I have had and ruin what was destined to be a really good job. Ask for COB solvent based paint when you order.
Menno:
Get your decals from Diego... I do.

I'm going to order my paint for the 350k0 over the next few weeks Ash. I'm going for Candy Red/White - did you ever find out what Ford White was used? (to same me paying RS Paints prices for a basic white!).
