Just checked and there is a paint shop called Brewers who sell all kinds of paints/sprays.............liking the idea of blue/black rubber coating spray

They are about a 10min walk from me

British racing green, or a dark metallic grey.... If either colour is possible.

Instead of painting could you wrap it?

So far i am thinking of rubber coating spray in dark blue or black, wrapping it would have to be custom and that would cost ££ or £££

Pink with Yellow spots ..Mr Blobby Style

I am surprised that you didn't go for shiny steel so you could polish it to within an inch of its life

Funny you should say that, there is polished chrome steel spray

Plastidip. If you don't like the colour, peel it off and try another one.

Rubberised dark blue gets my vote then, sounds good, blacks too dull.

Creating design for a wrap could open up a whole other project thread lol

Went for a dark kinda metallic blue in the end, i have sanded and primed it and sanded again, also done two coats of the spray and am gonna do another three.

This is the primer: www.carplan.co.uk/index.cfm?product=260
This is the the spray: www.carplan.co.uk/index.cfm?product=259

Question is do i need to lacquer it? it's not going outdoors or anything?

My cover screen never turned up today, annoyed is a understatement

Don't know much about lacquer, but doesn't it make it tougher? if so I'd do it, you've gone this far anyhow.

I know they recommend it for cars due to outside weather, just not sure i need it for this, gotta say it's a lovely metallic color now, 7 coats of it

7 coats ? lol
I vaguely remember my mate used to lacquer his motorcycle helmets after painting various designs on them to protect them from knocks, but was told that piece of information a good 15 year ago so could be wrong. 

Could just suck it and see anyhow I suppose, can always sand n repaint a year from now if it needs it.

boyofford think i will leave it as it is right now, patience got the better of me and had to have a feel of it...BIG mistake, it was still slightly wet so a small finger print got on it just gave it another coat and all is good again

Enough spraying for one day, been high as a kit for 5 hours now
