I was thinking of 5ltrs as that should be more than enough and give me some spare. A good friend of mine has a compressor, spray gun and all the other gear including safety suit and mask so I would be ok there, just have to learn (shown) how to use it properly 🥴 spraying will no doubt be done under ...

Incidentally the colour is bright red with an unspecified amount of orange mixed in!! You never know the paint suppliers up where you...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all. Does any one know of a company in North Essex/Suffolk that can test for colour match then mix and supply Cellulose paint?
