Choosing a colour for a paint job

Ash, I would also argue the fact that 2k is not good in contact with the eyes and skin.
That is the reason I/they use full face mask even outside ;)

I agree 100% Paul and I always use an air fed mask with 2k products. But there are lots of people who don't .. even pro's . It doesnt help though that sellers actually list masks like the Gerson as suitable for 2k and most YouTube videos that I watch ..there is no sign of an air-fed.
Last year I had a battle with ProXL over their 2K primer.. Their data sheet and every seller was listing as Iso free but the can said contains isocyanate. I called them and they were in total denial but then agreed the datasheet was wrong and they would change it. A month later it wasn't changed si I threatened them with the HSE, which prompted a rapid correction. But then the resellers didnt change their listing even when I alerted them ..one seller was quite abusive coming out with sh*t like "Bet you are fun at parties " but then I challenged them back telling them to not to come running to me if someone croaks due to an asthma attack from breathing the iso crap ..they then reluctantly changed the listing. But surely all of this stemmed from the complacency of ProXL. It's a UK based company ..bet the German stuff is properly labelled.
I am fun at parties BTW as long as I am talking Hondas with like minded Anoraks.

Ash you are always fun, party or not!

I doubt whether any 1k paint is truly E10 fuel resistant Ted. I bought some that was supposedly petrol resistant and it was sh*te
You really need 2k IMHO. Like this
https://www.spraymax.com/en/products/product/clear-coats-and-spot-blender/2k-clear-coat/
Or if it's a solid colour then 2k aerosol by ProXL. something like : https://www.paints4u.com/Customer/ProductDetails/Index/11983

I used the Spraymax lacquer on my recent brown spray to finish. Good lacquer transforms the finish and Spraymax is like glass (and that hard). It was to be candy garnet brown, but in the end preferred a dark candy copper brown.
Used a oil free compressor to feed me air for safety.

Has anyone used CCR Custom Paints?
