Mixed paint in cans.

Many of you will know this, but for those who don't.
Many local paint factors have the capability of mixing paint to your choice of colour and can then put it into aerosol cans for home use.
Cost is about £12 for a can about twice the size of the ones on the rack at Halfrauds. 2 cans will paint a class 1 chassis with a bit left over.
The only down sides are that the aerosol propellant makes the paint more likey to bloom in the cold and the nozzles tend to be a bit coarse so overspray can be a problem.
Having said this if you put plenty of paint on, after an hour or two with the rubbing compound the chassis will be dazzling.
