I used 1 pack enamel from a local supplier called Autoscot. I can't
remember the actual paint manufacturer but will look out the tin
and let
you know. The colour was Cadmium Yellow. I used a roller for the
majority
but got a few spray cans made up for awkward areas like the door
checks.
It's horrible stuff to spray though as the offspray stays wet and
gets
everywhere you don't want it.
As a home job, I was happy with the results but it's nowhere near
as good
as a professional spray job. I call it a ten foot paint job - as
long as
you are over 10 feet away it looks good. Enamel tends to chip as
well, so
there are now some chips on the front but I'm still glad I did it.
I think I would go for a vinyl wrap next time but that's a whole new
subject.

Saw it - Well done.
I've been an advocate of brush painting GRP, but everybody
seems to
want to go with spraying.
I'd be interested on your thoughts. Who's paint did you use? I
contacted International paints, who considered for a car my plans to
brush paint rather than roller were a good idea. Their guidance to
roller, then tip-off with brush is ideal for larger items (such as a
yatch) though.
I've painted a car before, using single-pack polyurethane
alkyd, and
although the finish was great the paint went dull after a few months!
I'll certainly won't be using that again. The single pack can't be
flatted down either - I believe the 2 pack can.
I have to get a paint mixed up to match the Oxford Blue of my
Q saloon
so that I can brush paint my "Quantum Sleep" matching folding
caravan -
The only place I can find which will mix a matching paint for
brushing is
Witham Paints (unless you can advise)
