He seems to know his stuff and a great guy to deal with in terms of free advice.... fingers crossed the paint is a good match Dom. I just came across them trawling the internet and then I notice you had asked in a previous post if anyone had used them. Worth asking him about clear coat for DIY use I reckon.

I worked  out that my candy coat paint is around £44 inc. VAT  & delivery from him  and from RS the same amount would be £124.

A couple of weeks ago mate bought 0.5 litre of candy paint (thins to 1.0 l ) and 0.5 litre of ground-coat (thins to 1.0 l ) described (as Candy Rub Red BUT not specifically Honda) and the lot inc. VAT was £55 from a local paint supplier in Hull. He got me to paint his 1957 Ariel Square Four in that colour ..it looks great but not one for Ariel purists as it was originally a muck maroony colour. Doesn't bother him though he basically doesn't give a f*ck about anything at all.

Well, I was going for a metallic grey/gunmetal mate but then I saw Candy Forest Green, probably bitten off more than I can chew with this one being candy but the paint hasn't cost me much at all as Ash has found out.  If I balls it up I'll just get it done by someone and put it down to experience 😀
