jimmy_neutron Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Need to fit a new door on my 90 defender. Its red so i presume it must be arrow red. As its only a door to do and theres not much surface area to it i was just gonna use spray cans. Any opinions on this ? Know any good and preferably fairly cheap places / sites to get spray paint. Know of any to avoid or that don't get a good colour match ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have recently had some dealings with Turners Trade Paints http://www.turnerstradepaints.co.uk/Contacts.htm and I have found them to be very helpful - not sure if they have a minimum order though, doesn't appear to be from the website. There are several shades of red depending on the year so you shouldn't assume it is arrow red - check first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Paints4u are good for cans and touch up paint. Very efficient in ordering and shipping. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had experience of Turners too and agree that they are good. If you want somewhere local look in yellow pages or similar for auto paint supplies or similar.

Paint primer colour leads to tuning a 300tdi etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
