 If you want the best , go to a paint shop and ge tit mixed in a rattle can a 2 pack lacquer it.
 Be prepared for the cost of the materials though  :shocked: paper, scotchrite,etch primer, filler primer,base coat ,lacquer :shocked:
Better off giving it to Dan for what it will cost you in materials, he does a great job.

if you do go the home brew route a company called paints 4 you do a kit with primer, paint,  lacquer, wet and dry and polish intended for repairs but it will just about do a frame, forks and bars if you are careful. just find a car you like the colour on, work out the code and order. Can't go wrong at 25 notes. all professional quality 2 pack stuff  :)
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
